Pregnancy Friendly Fresh Mint Tea
Sipping something warm and soothing when your stomach is staging a full-scale revolt is one of life's small mercies, and this simple mint brew delivers exactly that. Fresh mint has long been a go-to for easing nausea and digestive discomfort, making it a natural fit when your body is doing something as demanding as growing a whole person. The ingredient list couldn't be more reassuring — just water, a generous bunch of fresh mint, and a little optional honey — so there's nothing to second-guess or cross-reference against a list of things to avoid. Letting the water cool slightly before steeping is a small but smart step that coaxes out the mint's clean, bright flavor without turning it bitter. A drizzle of honey rounds it out beautifully if you want just a touch of sweetness. It comes together in minutes and serves two, so you can share a quiet cup or simply keep one warm for later.
