Rice Free Chamomile, Peppermint & Ginger Tea
This soothing herbal blend is the kind of drink that makes you want to curl up somewhere quiet and just breathe for a minute. Fresh ginger simmers low and slow to build a warm, spicy base, then chamomile and peppermint steep right into it for a layered, aromatic cup that feels genuinely restorative. A whisper of vanilla powder rounds everything out in a way that's subtle but makes a real difference. Naturally, every single ingredient here is completely free of grain — no fillers, no starchy thickeners, just clean, whole botanicals and a touch of honey. For anyone navigating grain or starch restrictions, herbal teas can still be a minefield when pre-blended commercial versions sneak in unexpected additives, so making it from scratch like this is the smartest move. It comes together in under fifteen minutes and the result is far better than anything from a box.
