Walnut Free Fresh Mint Tea
There is something quietly luxurious about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this fresh mint version delivers that feeling in under ten minutes. The ingredients list is beautifully short — just water, a generous bunch of fresh mint, and a touch of honey if you like a hint of sweetness — so there is genuinely nothing to second-guess here. Steeping the rinsed sprigs in water that has just come off the boil coaxes out a clean, bright flavor that no store-bought tea bag can quite replicate. The result is a pale green-gold brew that smells incredible and tastes even better, whether you sip it warm on a slow morning or serve it to guests after dinner. Because the recipe is built entirely around whole, single-ingredient components, it sidesteps the cross-contamination concerns that can come with packaged herbal blends processed on shared equipment. Simple, soothing, and completely fuss-free.
