Homemade Ginger Iced Tea: The Sugar-Free Summer Recipe

A store-bought iced tea = up to 20 g of sugar per bottle. Here is the homemade version that really refreshes: ginger, lemon, mint — zero added sugar, ready in 5 minutes (+ time to cool).

🧊 The recipe (1 liter, 5 minutes)

1. Fishing version : add a sliced ripe peach to the carafe (the sweetness of the fruit, without syrup)
2. Cucumber version : 1/2 cucumber in ribbons — the spa effect
3. Sparkling version : replace cold water with sparkling water when serving
4. Heatwave hydration : ginger supports circulation when it’s heavy — and this carafe gets the whole family drinking without sugar

💡 Summer variations

• Infuse 2 bags of green tea (or 2 tbsp loose) in 500 ml of water at 80°C, 3 minutes — no more, otherwise bitterness
• Remove the tea, let it cool for 10 minutes
• Add 2 INTI shots + 500 ml of cold water
• Pour into a carafe with ice cubes, lemon slices and fresh mint
• In the fridge for at least 1 hour — even better after 3-4 hours 🧊

The calculation is quick: 1 L of industrial iced tea ≈ 65-90 g of sugar. This carafe: 0 g added sugar, and the active ingredients of ginger, turmeric and lemon as a bonus. In summer, it's THE table drink that replaces sodas.
