Cashew Free Iced Mint Tea
This iced mint tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel instantly refreshed the moment it hits your lips — 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 everything out with gentle sweetness, no refined sugar required. The whole thing comes together with pantry-friendly ingredients that are naturally free from tree nuts and any cross-contamination concerns you might find with packaged beverages or flavored teas. Once strained and chilled, it's silky smooth and endlessly drinkable — perfect poured over a tall glass of ice on a warm afternoon. Dress it up with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort involved.
