Paleo Chamomile, Peppermint & Ginger Tea
There is something deeply soothing about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this three-herb blend delivers on every level. Fresh ginger simmers low and slow to build a warming, aromatic base, while chamomile and peppermint steep in off the heat to preserve their delicate, floral notes. A whisper of vanilla powder rounds everything out with a subtle sweetness that feels almost indulgent without straying from whole-food ingredients. Honey — a staple in ancestral eating — does the sweetening here, so there is no refined sugar or processed syrup in sight. This kind of recipe is a great reminder that comfort drinks do not need a long ingredient list or anything from a packet to taste genuinely special. It comes together in one small saucepan and a strainer, making it as low-effort as it is nourishing.
