- A splash of hot water (just enough to make your tea bag blush)
- 1 green tea bag (the hero of our story)
- A drizzle of honey (nature’s liquid gold)
- A squeeze of lemon juice (for that zesty zing)
- A handful of ice cubes (to keep things cool)
Instructions
- Pluck a couple of fresh basil leaves and give them a gentle slap to wake up their flavors—yes, really. Toss them into your favorite mug.
- Pour a splash of hot water over the basil leaves, just enough to cover them. Let them steep for about 30 seconds to get acquainted with the water.
- Add the green tea bag to the mug and fill it up with more hot water, leaving a little room at the top for the honey and lemon juice. Let it steep for 3 minutes—no more, no less—for the perfect strength.
- While the tea is doing its thing, drizzle in the honey and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir it like you mean it until the honey dissolves into sweet, sweet submission.
- Strain the tea into a shot glass filled with ice cubes, because we’re fancy like that. Pro tip: Use a fine mesh strainer to catch any basil bits that didn’t get the memo.
- Serve immediately and watch as your friends marvel at your mixology skills. Extra tip: Garnish with a tiny basil leaf on top for that Instagram-worthy finish.
