Beef Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of fresh mint tea made entirely from scratch, and this one delivers that experience in just a few minutes. The recipe calls for a generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in water that's been pulled just off the boil, which coaxes out the herb's bright, clean fragrance without turning it bitter. A touch of honey at the end rounds everything out, though the tea is genuinely lovely on its own if you prefer it unsweetened. It's the kind of drink that feels restorative whether you're winding down after dinner or just need a calm moment in the middle of the day. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and completely free of any animal products, so there's nothing to second-guess — just pure, simple flavor. Serve it immediately while the color is still that beautiful pale green-gold and the aroma is at its peak.
