There is something deeply soothing about a cup of herbal 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 create a pale green, beautifully fragrant brew that feels both refreshing and calming at the same time. 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. With only three ingredients and no packaged tea bags to scrutinize, you never have to second-guess what's actually in your cup. This is the kind of recipe that works beautifully for anyone navigating grain-related restrictions, since every single component is naturally free of any grain or cereal concerns. It comes together in under ten minutes and is just as lovely as an afternoon wind-down drink as it is a cozy evening ritual.
