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 small pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat. - Brew the Green Tea:
Add the 3 green tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. Remove the tea bags and set the brewed tea aside to cool. - Infuse with Ginger:
While the tea is cooling, slice 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger. Add the ginger slices to the tea and let it steep for an additional 5 minutes. The ginger will infuse the tea with a warming, slightly spicy kick. - Sweeten with Honey:
Once the tea has cooled, stir in 1/4 cup of honey (or to taste). The honey will dissolve easily in the warm tea, giving it a smooth, natural sweetness. - Add Lemon Juice:
Stir in the freshly squeezed juice of 1/4 cup lemon. The lemon will add a zesty tang that complements the ginger and balances the sweetness of the honey. - Serve and Chill:
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill. Once cold, fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over. - Garnish and Enjoy:
For an extra touch, garnish with a few slices of lemon. Sip and enjoy the perfectly balanced, refreshing taste!
