Peanut Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something deeply calming about a cup of fresh mint tea, and this version is as pure and vibrant as it gets. A generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale green-gold brew with a clean, bright fragrance that no tea bag can quite replicate. The optional drizzle of honey adds a gentle sweetness that rounds out the natural coolness of the mint without overpowering it. With only three whole ingredients, every single one is straightforward and easy to verify, so there is no label-reading stress or worry about hidden additives. It comes together in under five minutes and is the kind of simple ritual that makes an ordinary afternoon feel a little more intentional. Serve it right away while the color is still beautiful and the aroma is at its peak.
