There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of tea made entirely from fresh ingredients you can see and smell before they even hit the water. This one is as clean and simple as it gets — just water, a generous bundle of fresh mint, and a touch of honey if you like a little sweetness. The mint steeps for only a few minutes, releasing that bright, cooling fragrance that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of gluten, there is no label-reading required and no concern about hidden additives sneaking in through flavoring blends or packaged tea bags. It is the kind of drink that works equally well as a soothing wind-down at night or a refreshing pick-me-up in the afternoon. The optional honey adds just enough warmth to round out the herbal sharpness without overpowering it.

Place the rinsed mint sprigs in a teapot or heatproof pitcher. Pour the hot water over the mint.
