Paleo Fresh Mint Tea
There is something deeply satisfying about a drink made from exactly two or three ingredients you can actually name. This mint tea is bright, clean, and cooling — the kind of thing that feels restorative whether you sip it after a meal or just need a quiet moment in the afternoon. Fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water releases a fragrance that fills the kitchen instantly, and the resulting cup is a pale green-gold with a flavor that's both bold and soothing. A touch of raw honey rounds it out beautifully if you like a hint of sweetness, and since honey is the only optional add-in here, the whole thing stays completely in line with whole-food, grain-free eating without any workarounds or substitutions needed. No tea bags, no additives, no wondering what's hiding in a flavored blend — just water, mint, and an optional drizzle. It's one of those recipes that proves simple ingredients done right are always enough.
