Low Fiber Honey Peppermint Herbal Tea
Soothing, fragrant, and naturally sweet, this warm herbal tea is exactly the kind of gentle comfort that feels right when your digestive system needs a break. Peppermint has long been celebrated for its calming properties, and steeping fresh leaves in just-boiled water coaxes out every bit of that cool, clean flavor without any harsh additives or artificial ingredients. A touch of raw honey stirred in at the end adds a soft sweetness that rounds out the mint beautifully. Because this recipe uses only three simple, whole ingredients — water, fresh peppermint leaves, and honey — there's nothing here to stress your gut or second-guess. Straining out the leaves before serving keeps the liquid smooth and easy to sip, which is exactly what you want when you're being mindful about what you consume. It comes together in under ten minutes and feels like a small, restorative ritual you'll want to return to again and again.
