Low Histamine Ginger Fennel Iced Herbal Tea

Crisp, cooling, and quietly aromatic, this iced herbal tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel genuinely manageable. Fresh ginger and fennel seeds are simmered together until the water turns fragrant and lightly golden — a simple process that coaxes out warm, slightly sweet flavor without any of the fermented or aged ingredients that can be so problematic for sensitive systems. Honey brings just enough sweetness to round everything out, and because it's stirred in off the heat, the whole thing stays clean and gentle. Managing histamine reactions often means giving up on interesting, flavorful drinks, but this one proves that restriction doesn't have to mean boring. The tea is strained, chilled, and poured over ice, so the final result is bright and refreshing rather than heavy. A sprig of fresh mint makes it feel a little fancy, though it's completely optional. This recipe makes four servings, so it's easy to batch ahead and keep cold in the fridge for whenever you need it.
