# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Once you’ve tasted how bright and thirst-quenching the homemade version is, you might forget all about the takeout line.
  • It’s endlessly customizable so you can tweak the sweetness or citrus to taste, and it comes together faster than you’d think.
02 -
  • If green tea steeps too long, it quickly tastes bitter and overwhelms the fruit flavors—it’s easy to overdo it.
  • Letting the green tea cool completely before assembling brings out a crisper, cleaner taste and stops the ice from melting instantly.
03 -
  • Chill all your ingredients ahead for the frostiest finish without diluting flavors.
  • Don’t skip the fresh lemon—bottled juice just never delivers the same vibrant taste.
