Lemon Ginger Iced Green Tea with Honey 🍋🍯
Ingredients:
- 4 cups water
- 3 green tea bags
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, sliced
- 1/4 cup honey (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Boil the water:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Infuse the ginger and tea:
- Once the water is boiling, add the fresh ginger slices and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to infuse the water with the ginger flavor.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the green tea bags. Let the tea steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you want the tea to be. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.
-
Sweeten the tea:
- Remove the tea bags and ginger slices from the tea. Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, so it dissolves easily. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if needed.
-
Add lemon juice:
- Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, giving the tea a fresh and tangy flavor.
-
Chill the tea:
- Let the tea cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until it’s nice and cold.
-
Serve:
- Once the tea is chilled, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the iced tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices if desired.
