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
Directions
Step 1
Boil 500 ml of water in a saucepan or kettle.
Step 2
While the water is heating, peel the 1-inch piece of fresh ginger and slice it into thin pieces.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the meantime, juice the lemon and lime into a small bowl, removing any seeds.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Pour the cooled green tea evenly into the glasses, then top each glass with a mix of lemon and lime juice to taste.
Step 8
Stir gently, garnish with additional mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately for a vibrant, zesty refreshment.
