Are you looking for a flavorful iced tea to quench your thirst and refresh yourselves? A ready-make bottled iced tea is good but nothing can’t compare to a homemade aromatic jasmine iced tea prepared with premium tea leaves and fresh ingredients.
In this post, an amazing recipe to suggest for the most tasty and invigorating Jasmine Green iced tea ever. It is made with Jasmine Yin Hao (meaning ‘Silver Tip’), a deeply fragrant Chinese green tea, infused with jasmine multiple times over to create a floral aroma and soft, full-bodied and sweet flavor. It also contains fresh ginger pieces and lemon juice for a more fruity and revitalizing flavor with a hint of spiciness.
It is topped with a mountain of ice and fresh mint leaves for an even more chilling experience!
If you need a drink to wake you up and keep you cool while spoiling your taste buds this iced tea is a must-try!

Instructions
- Bring your water to a boil and remove from heat.
