Xanthan Gum Free Ginger Fennel Iced Herbal Tea
Bright, aromatic, and genuinely refreshing, this iced herbal tea brings together the warming bite of fresh ginger and the subtle anise-like sweetness of fennel seeds in a drink that feels both grounding and revitalizing. A touch of honey rounds out the flavors without overpowering the herbal notes, making every sip feel balanced and clean. Because it's brewed entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients, there's no need to scan labels for hidden additives or thickening agents that can sneak into bottled teas and commercial drink mixes. The process is simple — simmer, strain, sweeten, and chill — and the result is a beautifully golden tea that looks as good as it tastes poured over ice. Fresh mint sprigs on top add a cool finishing touch that makes it feel a little fancy for something so effortless. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week.
