- 2 tablespoons Honey or simple syrup (optional)
- 2 slices Lemon slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle boil in a medium-sized saucepan or kettle.
Step 2
Remove the water from heat and allow it to cool for 2 minutes to prevent the green tea from becoming bitter.
Step 3
Add 2 teaspoons of green tea leaves and 1 teaspoon of dried jasmine flowers (if using) to a heatproof teapot or large measuring cup.
Step 4
Pour the slightly cooled water over the tea leaves and let them steep for 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Strain the tea into a pitcher to remove the tea leaves and jasmine flowers.
Step 6
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until fully chilled.
Step 7
Once the tea is cold, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled green tea over the ice.
Step 8
Sweeten with honey or simple syrup, if desired, and stir well to combine.
Step 9
Garnish with lemon slices, if preferred, and serve immediately.
