This herbal green tea is the kind of drink that feels like a reset button — bright, cooling, and layered with flavor from fresh mint, basil, and a squeeze of real lemon. The combination of garden herbs steeped alongside green tea creates something far more interesting than a standard iced tea, with a floral, slightly citrusy depth that's genuinely refreshing. Raw honey brings just enough sweetness to round everything out without tipping into sugary territory. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from any pork-derived additives or hidden animal byproducts, so there's no label-reading anxiety involved — just clean, simple components you can feel good about. The key technique is keeping the water just below a boil at 175°F, which protects the delicate green tea from going bitter and lets the herbs shine. It's equally good served immediately over a glass packed with ice or made ahead and chilled in the fridge for a few hours, making it a great option for entertaining or a quiet afternoon at home.

Bring 4 cups of water to 175°F (80°C) in a small saucepan — just below a simmer, with small bubbles beginning to form at the bottom. Remove from heat.
Add the green tea bags, mint leaves, and basil leaves to the hot water. Steep for 4–5 minutes, until the tea is a clear golden-green and the herbs are fragrant. Do not steep longer, as the tea can turn bitter.
