Iced green tea served with lemon and mint

Iced Green Tea

Green tea has been a popular beverage in Asia for centuries, especially in China and Japan, where it is traditionally consumed hot. In recent years, however, the iced version has also become popular worldwide, offering a refreshing alternative in the summer heat. Imagine sipping a glass of iced green tea on a hot summer day, where the freshness of the lemon and the cooling effect of the mint perfectly harmonize. The tea's natural antioxidants help to refresh your body, while the slightly sweet honey balances the flavors. The secret to the perfect iced green tea is the right steeping time and gradual cooling. If you want to make it even more exciting, try adding a little ginger or an orange slice!
