Cardamom Iced Green Tea

This Cardamom Iced Green Tea, combined with lemon juice and maple syrup (or honey), is a refreshing summer drink to help beat the summer heat. And you can absolutely skip the sweetener, too!

Hello, folks! I hope you are doing well, enjoying the summer.

Can you believe it’s already mid-July? I cannot, really.

And since the weather is getting super hot and at times even sultry, it’s a good time for something ultra refreshing! I’m talking about this iced green tea with cardamom and lemon.

Cardamom Iced Green Tea

This Iced Cardamom Green Tea is 100% perfect for the bill. It’s refreshing. It’s lemony. Additionally, it’s a bit sophisticated, thanks to the addition of cardamom. And it’s only subtly sweet, so it will better satisfy your thirst. It’s healthier than the sugar drinks you can get at a coffee shop. And if desired, you can skip the sweetener altogether.

Importantly, it is versatile, too. You can enjoy flavoured great teas – or add some extras. Think of mango, rose petals, orange zest, and so on.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Iced Cardamom Tea

You will only need a few simple ingredients to make this iced tea with cardamom, most of which you likely already have in your pantry.

• Water – I used regular, filtered water.
• Green tea of your choice. Both loose and tea bags will work. If you don’t like green tea, you can also opt for black or herbal tea.
• Cardamom – infuses the tea. Use whole cardamom pods for a more fragrant result.
• Lemons – add freshness and tartness. Use real lemons, not the concentrate, for the best results. Limes are a great option as well.
• Maple syrup – as a sweetener. You may use other sweeteners, such as honey, instead, or omit them completely.
