• 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
• Ice cubes
• Lemon slices and basil leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Brew the Green Tea:

   • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
   • Place the green tea bags or loose green tea in a heatproof container.
   • Pour the boiling water over the tea and steep for 3-4 minutes (or according to the package instructions). Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.

2. Infuse with Basil:

   • While the tea is still hot, add torn basil leaves to the tea.
   • Let the tea cool down with the basil leaves in it. This will allow the basil flavor to infuse into the tea.

3. Sweeten and Chill:

   • Once the tea has cooled to room temperature, remove the basil leaves and tea bags (if using) and discard them.
   • Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey to sweeten the tea. Adjust the honey according to your desired level of sweetness.

4. Chill and Serve:

   • Transfer the tea to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1-2 hours.

5. Serve:

   • When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes.
   • Pour the chilled Lemon Basil Green Tea over the ice.
   • Garnish with lemon slices and fresh basil leaves.

6. Enjoy:

   • Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Lemon Basil Green Tea Cooler!
