Directions

Brew the White Tea
Heat the water to 75–80°C (167–176°F), do not boil. Add the white tea and steep for 3–4 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves and let the tea cool to lukewarm.
Sweeten Lightly
While the tea is still warm, stir in 1½ tablespoons honey until fully dissolved. Taste and add up to ½ tablespoon more only if needed. This drink should stay light and watery, not sweet.
Prepare the Pear
Slice the Asian pear paper-thin. Thick slices release starch and ruin clarity. You want aroma, not fruit salad.
Infuse the Pear
Add the pear slices to the cooled tea. Refrigerate and let infuse for 20–30 minutes only, just until a clean, crisp pear aroma develops. Remove the slices promptly to avoid muddiness.
Chill
Continue chilling for 1–2 hours until fully cold and integrated.
Serve
Fill glasses with ice, pour over the chilled pear white iced tea, and garnish with thin pear slices and an optional twist of lemon peel.

*Notes :

Asian pear is mandatory. Regular pear is mealy, dull, and ruins the drink.
Pear slices must be thin and short contact — longer means brown, cloudy, sad tea.
Honey is a rounding tool, not a flavor. If you taste honey, you overdid it.
Lemon peel is optional and aromatic only. One twist, not a statement.
Best enjoyed within 24 hours for clarity and freshness.
