Gluten Free Iced Mint Tea
Fresh mint, bright lemon, and a hint of warming ginger make this iced tea one of those drinks that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. The mint is steeped right after the ginger-infused water comes off the heat, which draws out every bit of that cool, herbal fragrance without any bitterness. A spoonful of honey rounds everything out with just enough sweetness, and a squeeze of lemon keeps it lively and refreshing. Naturally free from grains and gluten-containing additives, this is the kind of drink you can serve to anyone at the table without a second thought. It's also completely made from scratch, so there's no label-reading required — just clean, simple ingredients you can see and trust. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and add a sprig of fresh mint for a presentation that looks straight out of a café. Whether you're hosting a summer gathering or just need something cold and satisfying on a weeknight, this one delivers every time.
