Seed Oil Free Green Tea with Lemon Balm and Ginger

This soothing brew is the kind of thing you want to curl up with on a slow morning or wind down with after a long day. Fresh lemon balm brings a gentle, citrusy herbal note that pairs beautifully with the warmth of sliced ginger, while the green tea ties it all together with a clean, pale-gold depth. Because it's made entirely from whole, unprocessed ingredients — loose-leaf tea, fresh herbs, raw honey — there's nothing hiding in the cup that shouldn't be there. Seed oils sneak into a surprising number of packaged teas and flavored blends through coatings, additives, and flavorings, so brewing from scratch like this is genuinely the cleanest approach. The technique matters here too: gently simmering the ginger first, then letting the water cool slightly before steeping, keeps the green tea from turning bitter and lets every ingredient shine. A small squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the whole thing without overpowering the delicate herbal notes. Simple, intentional, and deeply satisfying.
