Honey rounds out the flavours with its subtle natural sweetness and immune-supporting properties. Whether you’re looking for a revitalising afternoon drink, a healthy alternative to sugary sodas, or a refreshing addition to your summer gatherings, this iced green tea and lemon spritz is a simple yet flavourful choice.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this iced green tea and lemon spritz.

  • Use High-Quality Green Tea: Choose organic or loose-leaf green tea for a richer, more authentic flavour.
  • Brew Carefully: Avoid steeping green tea for too long, as it can develop a bitter taste.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter drink, add more honey or a few drops of stevia.
  • Cool Tea Faster: Place the brewed tea in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up the chilling process.
  • Enhance Flavour: Let the tea infuse with lemon slices or mint leaves for a more complex taste.
  • Make It Bubbly: Swap still water for sparkling water to create a fizzy variation.

VARIATIONS

  • Citrus Blend: Add a splash of orange or lime juice for an extra citrusy boost.
  • Minty Refreshment: Stir in muddled fresh mint leaves for a cooling twist.
  • Ginger Kick: Add a few slices of fresh ginger for a spicy, metabolism-boosting variation.
  • Berry Infused: Include a handful of crushed raspberries or blueberries for added antioxidants.
  • Iced Matcha Spritz: Replace regular green tea with matcha for a stronger flavour and more antioxidants.
  • Herbal Variation: Swap green tea for herbal tea like chamomile or hibiscus for a caffeine-free version.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Make green tea ice cubes to prevent dilution while keeping your drink cold.
  • Batch Preparation: Brew a larger quantity of tea and store it in the fridge for quick assembly.
  • On-The-Go: Store in a sealed bottle and shake before drinking to redistribute flavours.
