There is something deeply comforting about a cup of herbal tea made entirely from scratch, and this one delivers that cozy, cooling sensation in just a few minutes. Fresh peppermint leaves steep into a pale green, wonderfully fragrant brew that feels both refreshing and soothing at the same time. A spoonful of raw honey stirred in at the end adds just the right touch of natural sweetness without overpowering the bright, minty flavor. For anyone navigating nut allergies, herbal teas can actually be a sneaky source of concern — many blended and flavored varieties are processed on shared equipment or contain added flavorings that introduce unwanted ingredients. This recipe sidesteps all of that entirely, since it calls for nothing more than water, fresh peppermint, and honey. It's clean, simple, and completely transparent about what's in your cup. Whether you're winding down after dinner or looking for a warm afternoon pick-me-up, this two-mug recipe is as fuss-free as it gets.
