Paleo Honey Peppermint Herbal Tea
Few things are as instantly soothing as a mug of fresh peppermint tea, and this version keeps things beautifully simple with just three real-food ingredients. Fresh peppermint leaves steep into the hot water and turn it a delicate pale green, filling your kitchen with that clean, cooling aroma before you even take a sip. Raw honey stirs in at the end, adding just enough natural sweetness without any refined sugar or processed additives — making this a genuinely clean choice for anyone eating whole, unprocessed foods. It's the kind of drink that feels like a treat but requires almost no effort to pull together. Whether you're winding down after dinner or looking for a warm afternoon ritual, this tea fits right in. The technique of letting the water rest briefly off the boil before steeping is a small but smart step that keeps the peppermint flavor bright and fresh rather than bitter.
