Fresh mint green tea in a mug with lemon and honey

Mint Green Tea

Green tea has been popular worldwide for centuries, especially in Asian cultures, where it is consumed for its medicinal and refreshing properties. Combined with mint and honey, it becomes not only tastier but also healthier. A cup of mint green tea can be the perfect addition to a peaceful afternoon, offering an excellent experience with the freshness of mint and the refreshing tartness of lemon. Honey adds a delicate sweetness that counteracts the natural bitterness of green tea. The secret to perfect mint green tea is the right temperature – never scald the green tea, as this can make it taste bitter. If you want to enjoy it iced, it is worth preparing a larger batch and storing it in the refrigerator. This drink is an ideal choice for a refreshing breakfast, an afternoon relaxation, or even a light evening wind-down.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Boil 500 ml of water, then let it cool slightly (to about 80°C/176°F) to prevent burning the green tea.

    2

    Place the green tea bags in a heat-resistant pitcher, then pour the warm water over them. Let it steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

    3

    Remove the tea bags and stir in the honey until completely dissolved.

    4

    Add the fresh mint leaves and let it steep for a few more minutes to allow the flavor to infuse.

    5

    Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, which adds a refreshing and pleasantly tart note to the drink.

    6

    You can enjoy it warm, or if you prefer iced tea, let it cool, then add ice cubes and serve chilled.
