Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 units green tea bags
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar (optional)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 4 slices lemon slices (optional for garnish)
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger to the specified quantity.
In a medium-sized pot, bring 8 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced ginger to the boiling water and let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavor.
Remove the pot from heat and add the green tea bags to the ginger-infused water.
Let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
Remove and discard the tea bags and ginger slices from the pot.
If using a sweetener, stir in honey or sugar while the tea is still warm until it completely dissolves. Skip this step if you prefer unsweetened tea.
Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until chilled.
Just before serving, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled green tea over the ice.
Optionally, garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for added freshness and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade iced green tea with ginger!
