Nightshade Free Fresh Mint Tea

There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this one delivers that feeling in just a few 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 even better — bright, clean, and naturally cooling. For anyone navigating a nightshade-free lifestyle, herbal teas can sometimes feel like a minefield of hidden blends and mystery botanicals, but this recipe keeps things beautifully simple with nothing but water, fresh mint, and a touch of optional honey. No tea bags, no proprietary blends, no second-guessing the label. The technique matters here — pulling the water just off the boil protects the mint's delicate oils, so you get that vivid, aromatic flavor rather than a bitter, overcooked brew. A drizzle of honey rounds it out if you like a hint of sweetness, but the mint is confident enough to stand entirely on its own. It's the kind of thing you'll want to make every single afternoon.
