Gut Friendly Iced Mint Tea
Fresh mint, ginger, honey, and lemon — this iced tea is as clean and soothing as a drink can get. Mint has long been celebrated for calming the digestive system, and paired with gently warming ginger, this recipe is practically designed with your gut in mind. The process is simple: a quick boil, a fragrant steep, and a drizzle of honey to sweeten things naturally without any refined sugars or artificial additives. Lemon juice adds a bright, zippy finish that makes the whole glass feel refreshing rather than heavy. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep in the fridge all week — cool, herbal, and genuinely good for you. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and add a sprig of mint for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort involved.
