Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 6 cups water
  • 1/4 cup ginger, peeled and sliced
  • 3 to 6 bags green tea (depending on desired strength)

Flavors and Sweeteners

  • 1/2 cup mint leaves, tightly packed, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 lemon, divided (for juice and garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ginger Infusion: In a medium saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the peeled and sliced ginger, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes to extract the ginger flavor.
  2. Steep Green Tea: Remove the saucepan from heat and add 3 to 6 green tea bags based on your preferred tea strength. Allow the tea to steep for 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add Mint and Sweetener: Stir in the 1/2 cup of tightly packed mint leaves and 1/3 cup honey until the honey is fully dissolved.
  4. Cool and Strain: Remove the tea bags and strain the mixture to remove ginger slices and mint leaves. Let the tea cool to room temperature.
  5. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the juice from half of the lemon into the tea, stirring well.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the tea for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
  7. Serve: Pour iced green tea into glasses over ice. Garnish each glass with extra fresh mint leaves and lemon slices from the remaining half lemon. Enjoy cold.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of tea bags depending on how strong or mild you prefer the tea.
  • Honey can be substituted with other sweeteners like agave or maple syrup if desired.
  • For a more intense ginger flavor, increase the amount or simmer longer.
  • Add fresh lemon slices to the iced tea for additional garnish and flavor.
  • Mint leaves can be lightly crushed before adding to release more aroma.
