Alpha Gal Friendly Classic Mint Iced Tea

There is something deeply refreshing about a tall glass of iced tea made entirely from scratch, and this mint version delivers that cool, herby satisfaction in every sip. The combination of bold black tea and fresh mint leaves creates a drink that feels both classic and a little special, perfect for a hot afternoon or a casual gathering. A quick homemade simple syrup lets you dial in the sweetness exactly where you want it, which is so much better than relying on pre-sweetened mixes or bottled teas that can hide unexpected additives. For anyone managing alpha-gal syndrome, navigating packaged beverages and flavored drinks can be a quiet source of stress — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a short, completely plant-based ingredient list. Steeping the mint directly with the tea bags pulls out a bright, aromatic flavor that feels layered without any extra effort. A squeeze of lemon and a fresh sprig on top make it look like something you ordered at a nice restaurant, even though it came together in your own kitchen.
