Turkey Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of fresh mint tea made entirely from scratch, and this version delivers that clean, cooling aroma in just a few minutes. The ingredient list could not be simpler — water, a generous bunch of fresh mint, and a touch of honey if you like a hint of sweetness. Because everything here is whole and unprocessed, there are no hidden additives, no mystery flavorings, and no animal-derived ingredients to second-guess. Letting the water cool just slightly before steeping is a small but smart step that coaxes out the bright, grassy notes of the mint without turning it bitter. The result is a pale green-gold cup that smells incredible and tastes even better. It works beautifully as an after-dinner drink, a midday reset, or any moment you want something warm and genuinely refreshing.
