Ingredients

Tea Base

  • 4 cups water
  • 5 organic green tea bags
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, finely grated or minced

Sweetener

  • 3-4 tablespoons honey (add more to taste)

Citrus Juices

  • 2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice

Garnish

  • Mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat Water and Steep Tea: Heat 4 cups of water to a good simmer, just below boiling. Turn off the heat and add 5 organic green tea bags to the hot water.
  2. Add Ginger: Add 2 tablespoons of finely grated or minced ginger to the pot and let the tea steep for 2-3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
  3. Strain the Tea: Once the tea has cooled somewhat, strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher to remove the tea bags and ginger bits.
  4. Sweeten the Tea: Stir in 3-4 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still slightly warm, adjusting sweetness to your taste preference.
  5. Add Citrus Juices: Pour in 2 cups of fresh orange juice and 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice into the tea and stir thoroughly to blend the flavors.
  6. Chill and Serve: Serve the tea chilled over ice for a refreshing experience.
  7. Garnish: Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves to add an aromatic touch.

Notes

  • Use organic green tea bags for the best flavor and health benefits.
  • Adjust the amount of honey for desired sweetness or substitute with a natural sweetener of choice.
  • Freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice provide the best citrus flavor; bottled juice may alter the taste.
  • The ginger adds a spicy kick but can be reduced or omitted for a milder flavor.
  • For an extra refreshing twist, refrigerate the tea for at least one hour before serving.
  • Serve with additional ice if desired, especially on hot days.
