Legume Free Chamomile, Peppermint & Ginger Tea
This soothing herbal blend is the kind of drink that makes you want to curl up with a blanket and let the day melt away. Chamomile brings its signature floral calm, peppermint adds a bright, cooling lift, and fresh ginger gives the whole cup a gentle warmth that lingers in the best way. A whisper of vanilla powder rounds everything out into something that feels almost luxurious for how simple it is to make. Legumes can sneak into surprising places — certain herbal blends, flavored teas, and packaged drink mixes sometimes contain additives derived from legume sources — but this recipe is built entirely from whole, straightforward ingredients with nothing to second-guess. You simmer the ginger right in the water first, which coaxes out its spice before the more delicate chamomile and peppermint even touch the pot, so every layer of flavor comes through clearly. A drizzle of honey at the end lets you dial in the sweetness exactly to your liking. It's an effortless ritual worth repeating every single evening.
