Celery Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing iced tea is exactly what a hot day calls for — bright, herbal, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without being cloying. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water, creating a pale green brew that smells incredible and tastes even better. A touch of honey rounds out the flavor, while fresh lemon juice adds a zippy citrus lift that makes every sip feel alive. The whole thing comes together with pantry-friendly ingredients and zero fuss, and it chills beautifully over ice in minutes. Naturally free from any sneaky additives or vegetable-based fillers, every ingredient here is clean and straightforward — no label-reading required. Serve it tall over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a glass that looks as good as it tastes.
