Low Sodium Lemon-Basil Mint Green Tea

This herbal iced tea is bright, cooling, and layered with flavor — fresh mint and basil steep alongside green tea bags to create something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. The lemon juice adds a clean tartness while raw honey brings just enough sweetness to round everything out without tipping into sugary territory. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, you never have to second-guess what's in your glass — no hidden sodium, no preservatives, no mystery additives that sneak into bottled teas and store-bought blends. Keeping the water temperature at 175°F is the quiet trick that makes this work; it coaxes the best out of the green tea without the bitterness that comes from boiling water, letting the herbs stay front and center. Served over ice with a few thin lemon slices floating on top, it looks genuinely beautiful and tastes like something you'd pay too much for at a café. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week.
