Coconut Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of fresh mint tea — bright, clean, and aromatic in a way that no tea bag can quite replicate. This version uses a generous bunch of real mint steeped in water that's just off the boil, which coaxes out the herb's natural oils without turning it bitter. The result is a pale green-gold brew with a fragrance that fills the kitchen the moment you pour. A touch of honey stirred in at the end adds gentle sweetness, though the tea is perfectly lovely on its own. It's naturally free from dairy, grains, and any tropical additives that sometimes sneak into flavored or packaged teas, so you know exactly what's in your cup. Simple, soothing, and ready in minutes — this is the kind of drink that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.
