There is something deeply soothing about a cup of tea made from nothing but fresh herbs and hot water, and this one delivers that simplicity in the most satisfying way. Mint is a natural fit for anyone navigating a mold detox protocol, since it's a clean, fresh ingredient with none of the hidden concerns that come with fermented, aged, or processed foods. The technique here matters — pulling the water just off the boil and steeping for only three minutes keeps the flavor bright and grassy rather than bitter or harsh. Optional honey is the only sweetener in the mix, so you stay in full control of what goes into your cup. The result is a pale green-gold brew with a clean, cooling fragrance that feels genuinely restorative. It comes together in under ten minutes with just a handful of ingredients, making it an easy ritual to build into your day whether you're sipping it in the morning or winding down at night.
