Paleo Lemon-Basil Mint Green Tea

This herbal iced tea is bright, cooling, and layered with flavor — fresh mint and basil steep alongside green tea to create something that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. The lemon juice adds a clean tartness that balances the floral herbs, while raw honey brings just enough natural sweetness to round everything out. Because every ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, it fits naturally into a grain-free, refined-sugar-free lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds. Sweetened drinks can be a real sticking point when you're eating this way, since most bottled teas and store-bought options are loaded with cane sugar or artificial sweeteners — this one sidesteps all of that. The technique matters too: steeping at 175°F instead of a rolling boil keeps the green tea smooth and golden rather than astringent, so the herbs and citrus can actually shine. Serve it over a big glass of ice with a few lemon slices and it looks as good as it tastes — the kind of drink you'd happily set out for guests without a second thought.
