Rice Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of fresh mint tea — bright, clean, and deeply soothing in a way that no tea bag ever quite manages. This version uses a generous bunch of real mint steeped in just-off-the-boil water, which coaxes out that vivid, cooling fragrance without turning bitter. A touch of honey at the end rounds everything out, though the tea is genuinely lovely on its own if you prefer it pure. The whole process takes only a few minutes and requires nothing more than a saucepan, a strainer, and two mugs. It's naturally free of grains, starches, and fillers — just water, herbs, and an optional drizzle of sweetness — so there's absolutely nothing to second-guess in the ingredient list. Whether you're winding down after dinner or need a gentle afternoon reset, this is the kind of simple, wholesome drink that earns a permanent spot in your routine.
