There is something deeply calming about a cup of fresh mint tea, and this version delivers that clean, herbal brightness in just a few minutes. 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. A small drizzle of honey rounds out the natural sweetness of the mint without overpowering it, though the tea is perfectly lovely on its own. Because the ingredient list is so simple — water, fresh mint, and optional honey — there is absolutely nothing to second-guess when it comes to hidden additives or allergen concerns. This is the kind of recipe that works whether you need a soothing after-dinner drink, a gentle afternoon pick-me-up, or something warm to sip on a slow morning. The technique is just as straightforward as the ingredients: steep, strain, and serve.
