Brazil Nut Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing drink is exactly what a hot afternoon calls for — cool, herbal, and just bright enough from a squeeze of fresh lemon. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and fills your kitchen with the most inviting aroma. A touch of honey rounds out the flavors without making it cloying, and the lemon juice adds a citrusy lift that keeps every sip lively. The whole thing comes together with pantry-friendly ingredients that are naturally free from any nut-related concerns, so there's zero label-reading stress involved. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and add a sprig of mint or a lemon slice for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort required. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week long.
