Pork Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something deeply refreshing about a cup of mint tea made entirely from scratch, and this version delivers that clean, herbal brightness in just a few minutes. Fresh mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water produces a pale green-gold brew that smells incredible and tastes even better — light, cooling, and naturally sweet on its own. A small drizzle of honey rounds out the flavor without overpowering the mint, making it easy to customize to your preference. The ingredient list is about as simple as it gets: water, fresh mint, and an optional touch of honey — nothing hidden, nothing processed, nothing to second-guess. This is the kind of drink that works any time of day, whether you're winding down after dinner or looking for a calming afternoon ritual. It comes together in under ten minutes and feels far more special than anything you'd pull from a tea bag.
