Gluten Free Honey Rooibos Herbal Tea
Warm, earthy, and naturally sweet, this simmered herbal tea is the kind of drink that feels like a genuine act of self-care. Rooibos is a naturally caffeine-free South African herb that brews into a gorgeous deep amber-red, and pairing it with fresh ginger and honey makes every sip feel both grounding and a little indulgent. The good news for anyone navigating gluten concerns is that every single ingredient here is inherently free of wheat, barley, and rye — no label-reading anxiety required. Fresh ginger gets a quick simmer to coax out its warmth before the tea bags even hit the pot, which gives the final cup a gentle, spicy backbone that plain tea just can't match. A drizzle of honey stirred in at the end keeps things smooth and mellow rather than sharp. Finish with a sprig or two of fresh mint if you want a cooling, aromatic lift. It's simple enough for a weeknight wind-down but special enough to serve to guests.
