Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 piece green tea bag
- 1 piece fresh lime
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
- 3 pieces mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pour 2 cups of water into a small pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and add the green tea bag. Let it steep for 3-4 minutes, depending on your preferred tea strength.
While the tea is steeping, cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of one half into a cup or mug. Slice the other half into thin rounds for garnish, if desired.
Remove the tea bag from the pot, and pour the steeped tea into the cup with the lime juice.
If you like your tea sweetened, stir in 2 teaspoons of honey until fully dissolved.
Garnish with a lime slice and a few fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your refreshing lime tea hot, or let it cool slightly and serve over ice for a cold version!
