Oral Allergy Syndrome Friendly Lemon-Basil Mint Green Tea

This bright, herbal iced tea is the kind of drink that feels like a treat while being genuinely refreshing — cool green tea layered with the fragrance of fresh mint and basil, lifted by a squeeze of real lemon and a touch of raw honey. For anyone navigating oral allergy syndrome, finding flavored beverages and teas without hidden botanical extracts, fruit concentrates, or mystery flavorings can be a quiet frustration. This recipe keeps everything transparent and straightforward: whole herbs, fresh citrus juice, and simple honey are the only flavor builders here, so you know exactly what's going into your glass. Steeping the green tea at a lower temperature — just below a simmer — is a small but smart step that keeps the flavor clean and prevents any harsh bitterness from sneaking in. The herbs are strained out completely after steeping, which means you get all that aromatic depth without any plant material lingering in the final drink. Served over ice with a few lemon slices, it's elegant enough for a slow afternoon and easy enough to make on a weeknight. Once you've tried homemade, the bottled stuff really doesn't compare.
