Legume Free Honey Peppermint Herbal Tea
There is something deeply satisfying about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this peppermint version is as clean and simple as it gets. Fresh peppermint leaves steeped in just-boiled water produce a pale green, beautifully fragrant brew that tastes nothing like the bagged stuff from the grocery store. A spoonful of raw honey stirred in at the end adds a gentle floral sweetness that balances the cool, bright bite of the mint perfectly. For anyone navigating a legume-free lifestyle, herbal teas can occasionally be a surprising source of hidden ingredients — but here, every single component is transparent and straightforward. There are no blends, no fillers, and no mystery additives — just water, leaves, and honey. It's the kind of recipe that takes almost no effort but feels genuinely restorative, whether you're winding down in the evening or looking for a soothing midday reset.
