Energizing iced jasmine green tea with ginger and lemon. Subtly sweetened with maple syrup, perfect for summer, and just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes required!
Add the water and chopped ginger to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, cover, reduce heat to medium, and allow to boil for 7-12 minutes (7 minutes for a more mild ginger flavor or 12 minutes for a stronger brew — keeping in mind the flavor will continue to develop off the heat).
While your ginger tea brews, place the jasmine tea bags in a large glass jar or heat-proof pitcher (that can hold at least 3 cups) along with the lemon zest.
When your ginger tea is done brewing, pour it over the jasmine tea and lemon zest. Steep for 2-3 minutes, then remove the tea bags.
Add the maple syrup and lemon juice and stir to incorporate. Enjoy immediately strained and poured over ice (it can also be enjoyed warm). Keeps refrigerated for 3 days, or would be delicious frozen as a popsicle!
