Chicken Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly restorative about a cup of fresh mint tea, and this version is as pure and vibrant as it gets. A generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale green-gold brew with a clean, cooling fragrance that feels both refreshing and grounding. A small drizzle of honey rounds out the natural brightness of the mint without overwhelming it, though the tea is equally lovely on its own. The whole process takes only minutes, making it an effortless ritual you can return to any time of day. Every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, so there is absolutely nothing to second-guess — just honest, wholesome flavor in every sip.
