Pescatarian Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly restorative about a cup of fresh mint tea, and this version delivers that clean, cooling aroma in its purest form. A generous bunch of fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale green-gold brew that smells incredible and tastes even better. The brief resting period before steeping is a small but smart step — it keeps the water at the right temperature so the mint releases its bright, herbal oils without turning bitter. A touch of honey rounds out the flavor beautifully if you like a hint of sweetness, though the tea is perfectly satisfying on its own. It comes together in under ten minutes with almost no effort, making it an ideal wind-down ritual or a refreshing pick-me-up any time of day. Three simple ingredients, zero fuss, and a result that feels genuinely special.
