Xanthan Gum Free Iced Green Tea with Mint & Ginger

This chilled drink is the kind of thing you make once and then crave all summer long. Bright, lightly sweet, and layered with the warmth of fresh ginger and the cool lift of mint, it's genuinely refreshing in a way that store-bought bottled teas rarely manage. Every ingredient here is clean and straightforward — water, tea, honey, ginger, mint, and ice — so there's nothing hidden to worry about, no thickeners, no additives, just real flavor doing all the work. Steeping the green tea at just below a simmer is the key move that keeps it smooth and mellow rather than astringent, and the short steep time means you get a delicate, grassy base that lets the ginger and mint really shine through. A squeeze of lemon at the end ties everything together with a little brightness. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive in a pitcher but takes almost no effort to pull off.
