To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot water over the tea bag, ensuring the water is not boiling to preserve the delicate green tea flavors. Let it steep for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. You can adjust the steeping time for a milder or more robust taste. For an iced version, brew a stronger tea, let it cool, and serve over ice with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint. It can also be enjoyed with a touch of honey or sweetener.

This creates a more layered and complex taste experience, moving beyond the typical grassy or vegetal notes of green tea alone. The addition of peppermint and ginger also offers a different sensory profile.

How to keep the rest
