Ingredients
- 4 pieces Green tea bags
- 4 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoons Orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 4 pieces Orange slices (for garnish)
- 8 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to just under a boil, around 175°F to 185°F (avoid fully boiling to preserve the delicate flavor of green tea).
Steep 4 green tea bags in the hot water for 3 minutes, then remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, mix 0.5 cups of fresh orange juice with 1 teaspoon of orange zest. If desired, stir in 2 tablespoons of honey for sweetness.
Once the tea has cooled, pour it into a large pitcher and mix in the orange juice and zest blend. Stir well until fully combined.
Refrigerate the tea for at least 1 hour to chill completely.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour in the chilled orange-infused green tea.
Garnish each glass with a fresh orange slice and a couple of mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this citrusy, revitalizing iced tea!
