Eggless Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly restorative about a cup of fresh mint tea, and this version delivers that clean, cooling fragrance in its purest form. A generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale green-gold brew that tastes bright and alive in a way no tea bag can quite match. The optional drizzle of honey adds a gentle sweetness without overpowering the herb, making it easy to customize to your mood. Because the entire recipe is built from three whole, simple ingredients, there is nothing hidden here — no additives, no fillers, just water, mint, and a little sweetness if you want it. It is naturally free from eggs and every other common allergen, so it works beautifully for nearly anyone at the table. Serve it the moment it is strained for the most vibrant flavor, and do not be surprised if it becomes a daily ritual.
