Almond Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this fresh mint version delivers that feeling in under ten minutes. The recipe calls for nothing more than water, a generous bunch of fresh mint, and a touch of honey if you like a little sweetness — meaning it is naturally free from nuts, tree nuts, and any of the hidden additives that can sneak into packaged teas and herbal blends. Steeping the mint just off the boil rather than at a full rolling boil keeps the flavor bright and clean rather than bitter or grassy. The result is a pale green-gold cup that smells incredible and tastes even better — cooling, refreshing, and genuinely soothing all at once. It works beautifully as an afternoon pick-me-up, a post-dinner digestif, or anything in between. Simple, wholesome, and completely made by you.
