Once the water reaches a boil, remove the pot from the heat. Add the green tea bags and the freshly sliced ginger to the hot water. Cover the pot with a lid and let the mixture steep for 5-7 minutes. Adjust the steeping time based on your preference for tea strength.
Step 3: Sweeten the Tea
Carefully remove the tea bags and ginger slices from the pot. While the tea is still warm, stir in the honey. This ensures that the honey dissolves completely, imparting a smooth and well-balanced sweetness.
Step 4: Add Lemon Juice
Allow the tea to cool slightly before adding the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to blend the flavors. Taste the tea at this stage and adjust the lemon or honey to suit your preference.
Step 5: Chill the Tea
Transfer the prepared tea into a pitcher and refrigerate it for at least 1-2 hours. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect chilled tea experience.
Step 6: Serve
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over them. Garnish with a slice of lemon, a sprig of mint, or any other topping of your choice. Enjoy this refreshing beverage immediately!
