Hazelnut Free Green Tea with Lemon Balm and Ginger

This soothing cup is the kind of thing you make once and then find yourself craving on a regular basis. Fresh lemon balm leaves bring a bright, herbal lift that pairs beautifully with the warmth of sliced ginger, while the green tea itself stays clear and pale gold when steeped at the right temperature — a small detail that makes a real difference in flavor. The ginger is simmered first to coax out its gentle heat, and the whole brew comes together with nothing more than a fine-mesh strainer and a couple of mugs. A drizzle of raw honey rounds everything out, and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end adds just enough brightness if you want it. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient is straightforward, with no hidden blends or flavored syrups that might sneak in unwanted additions. It's a genuinely calming drink that works morning, afternoon, or as a wind-down ritual at the end of a long day.
