Soy Free Ginger Fennel Iced Herbal Tea
Bright, aromatic, and genuinely refreshing, this iced herbal tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you've done something good for yourself. Fresh ginger and fennel seeds are simmered together until the water turns fragrant and lightly golden, creating a base that's warming and cooling all at once — a combination that works surprisingly well over ice. A spoonful of honey rounds out the sharpness without making it sweet in an overwhelming way. Bottled teas and flavored drinks can be sneaky when it comes to hidden additives, but this one is made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients you can see and smell before they even hit the pot. The process is simple: simmer, strain, chill, and pour. A few sprigs of fresh mint on top make it feel like something you'd order at a nice café, but you made it yourself in under an hour. It's the perfect pitcher to keep cold in the fridge for sipping throughout the week.
