Storage & Serving Suggestions
How to Store
Store iced honey lemon jasmine green tea in a covered pitcher or jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving because the lemon and honey flavor can settle slightly.
Best Way to Serve
Serve cold over plenty of ice with fresh lemon slices and mint. For the freshest flavor, add lemon slices right before serving so the tea does not become too bitter from the peel.
Make-Ahead Tips
Brew the tea and mix in the honey while warm, then chill it in the fridge. Add fresh lemon juice after chilling if you want the brightest citrus flavor.
What to Serve With It
Serve with brunch foods, fruit salad, cucumber sandwiches, lemon cookies, berry desserts, rice bowls, sushi-style meals, salads, or light summer lunches. It also pairs beautifully with honey toast, yogurt bowls, and fresh fruit plates.
