Instructions
Brew Green Tea
Heat water to 175 degrees Fahrenheit which is below boiling to protect the delicate green tea flavors. Steep the green tea bags for 3 minutes then remove them gently without squeezing to avoid releasing bitter compounds.
Sweeten and Cool
Stir honey into the warm brewed green tea until completely dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature before adding the pomegranate juice to preserve the bright fruity flavor.
Combine with Pomegranate
Stir pure pomegranate juice and 1 cup cold water into the cooled sweetened green tea. Mix thoroughly and taste adjusting honey as needed for your preferred sweetness level.
Serve Chilled
Pour over glasses generously filled with ice. Garnish each glass with a few fresh pomegranate arils and a lime wheel for a colorful impressive and antioxidant-rich presentation.
