Alpha Gal Friendly Lemon-Basil Mint Green Tea

This herbal iced tea is bright, cooling, and layered with flavor — fresh mint and basil steep together with green tea to create something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. The raw honey adds a gentle floral sweetness, while the fresh lemon juice cuts right through it with a clean, citrusy finish. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and minimally processed, which means there's nothing lurking that could trigger a reaction for those managing an alpha-gal sensitivity. No meat, no dairy, no hidden animal-derived additives — just herbs, tea, and real whole ingredients you can feel good about. The technique matters too: steeping at 175°F instead of a rolling boil keeps the green tea smooth and golden rather than bitter, so the delicate herb flavors actually come through. It's the kind of drink that works equally well as a backyard sipper, a dinner party mocktail, or a weekday afternoon treat poured over a tall glass of ice.
