Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Green tea leaves
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Agave nectar
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 Lemon
Instructions
Heat 2 cups of water in a small pot on the stove until it is just about to boil, then remove the pot from the heat.
Add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves to a tea infuser or a heatproof mug.
Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let them steep for about 3 minutes for a mild flavor, or up to 5 minutes if you prefer a stronger taste.
While the tea is steeping, gently wash and tear the fresh mint leaves to release their aroma, and slice half a lemon into thin rounds.
Once the tea is steeped to your preferred strength, remove the tea infuser or strain the leaves if they were directly in the water.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of agave nectar to the brewed tea until fully dissolved.
Add the mint leaves to the tea and let them infuse for an additional minute.
Pour the tea into cups and serve with a lemon slice for a refreshing twist. Enjoy your soothing vegan honey green tea!
