Directions
Step 1
Place 4 cups of water in a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the water has reached a rolling boil, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 3
Add 4 green tea bags to the hot water and let them steep for 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
While the tea is steeping, wash and gently crush 15 fresh mint leaves to release their oils.
Step 5
Remove the tea bags from the pot, pressing them lightly to extract any remaining liquids, then discard.
Step 6
Stir in 2 tablespoons of honey while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.
Step 7
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze the juice from one half into the tea. Reserve the other half for garnish.

Add the crushed mint leaves to the pot and let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
