Paleo Ginger Chamomile Iced Herbal Tea
There is something deeply satisfying about a cold, golden glass of herbal tea that you made entirely from scratch. This drink layers the floral softness of chamomile with the bright, warming bite of fresh ginger — a combination that feels both soothing and refreshing at the same time. Simmering the ginger directly in the water before steeping the tea bags is the move that makes this recipe special, coaxing out every bit of spice and aroma before the chamomile even enters the picture. A touch of honey rounds everything out naturally, keeping the sweetness clean and real rather than processed. For anyone eating grain-free and avoiding refined sugars, this is the kind of drink that fits effortlessly into that lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds — every ingredient is exactly what it sounds like. Poured over ice with a sprig of fresh mint, it looks genuinely beautiful and tastes like something you'd pay too much for at a wellness café. Make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge — it disappears fast.
