Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces green tea bags
- 500 ml water
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 large lemon
- 1 medium lime
- 5 pieces fresh mint leaves
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Boil 500 ml of water in a saucepan or kettle.
While the water is heating, peel the 1-inch piece of fresh ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
Once the water has reached a boil, turn off the heat and add the sliced ginger along with the 2 green tea bags. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime, juice the lemon and lime into a small bowl, removing any seeds.
After 5 minutes of steeping, remove the tea bags and ginger pieces from the tea, then stir in 2 tablespoons of honey until fully dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature or transfer it to the fridge for quicker cooling.
Once the tea has cooled, fill two glasses with 3 ice cubes each. Add a handful of fresh mint leaves to each glass for extra flavor.
Pour the cooled green tea evenly into the glasses, then top each glass with a mix of lemon and lime juice to taste.
Stir gently, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for a vibrant, zesty refreshment.
