A glass of Iced Tea quenches our thirst in this hot summer. Using healthy ingredients for concocting this iced tea makes it even more healthier and tastier. Green tea is very healthier and I have used grated ginger, fresh mint leaves and lemon to add more flavour and also to make this iced tea more healthier. Sweetened iced-tea is calorie rich, so , I have used honey instead of sugar for sweetness. Drinking a glass of Ginger-Mint-Green iced Tea refreshes our body and help us to beat the heat.

* We can also use green tea leaves. In that case we need 1/4 cup of green tea leaves ** 1 Cup capacity = 250ml Method:
Grate the ginger and take the green tea bags and keep it ready. Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a sauce pan
Add the grated ginger and green tea bags and steep in hot water for 3-5 minutes. Don’t keep the tea bags for more than 5 minutes as it might give a bitterness to the tea. Strain the tea and pour it to a pitcher
Add honey and stir well to make it completely dissolved. Add cold water to the pitcher and refrigerate for 1-2 hours
