Tips for Success

• Don’t Over-Steep Tea: Green tea can turn bitter if steeped too long—3 to 4 minutes is perfect.
• Adjust Sweetness: Add more or less honey depending on your taste preference.
• Make It Sparkling: Swap half the water for sparkling water after chilling for a fizzy twist.
• Serve Cold: This tea tastes best icy cold—don’t skip the chilling step.
