There is something deeply soothing about a cup of tea made from nothing but fresh herbs and hot water, and this one delivers that feeling in under five minutes. A generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale, golden-green brew that smells incredible and tastes clean and bright without any bitterness. Because the ingredient list is so short and naturally pure, this is one of those drinks that works effortlessly for anyone avoiding dairy — no substitutions, no label-reading, no stress. A small drizzle of honey rounds out the flavor beautifully if you like a touch of sweetness, but the mint is bold enough to stand entirely on its own. It's the kind of thing you'll want to make on a slow morning or after a heavy meal when you need something light and restorative. Simple, fragrant, and genuinely satisfying.
