Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Green tea leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried jasmine flowers (optional)
- 4 cups Water
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 2 tablespoons Honey or simple syrup (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized saucepan or kettle.
Remove the water from heat and allow it to cool for 2 minutes to prevent the green tea from becoming bitter.
Add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves and 1 teaspoon of dried jasmine flowers (if using) to a heatproof teapot or large measuring cup.
Pour the slightly cooled water over the tea leaves and let them steep for 3-4 minutes.
Strain the tea into a pitcher to remove the tea leaves and jasmine flowers.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until fully chilled.
Once the tea is cold, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled green tea over the ice.
Sweeten with honey or simple syrup, if desired, and stir well to combine.
Garnish with lemon slices, if preferred, and serve immediately.
