Alpha Gal Friendly Honey Peppermint Herbal Tea
Few things are as instantly soothing as a mug of something warm, fragrant, and completely homemade. Fresh peppermint leaves steeped in just-boiled water create a pale green brew that smells incredible and tastes clean and cooling, with raw honey stirred in at the end to add a gentle floral sweetness. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, this kind of simple, from-scratch drink is a genuine comfort — no packaged tea bags with mystery additives, no labels to scrutinize for hidden mammal-derived ingredients. Peppermint and honey are naturally in the clear, making this an easy go-to whenever you want something warm and reassuring. The technique is straightforward: steep, strain, sweeten, and sip. It's the kind of recipe you'll have memorized after the first time you make it.
