Hazelnut Free Iced Mint Tea
There is something deeply refreshing about a glass of homemade iced tea, and this mint version delivers that cool, herby satisfaction in the most straightforward way possible. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and smells absolutely incredible. A spoonful of honey rounds out the brightness, while fresh lemon juice adds just enough citrus zing to keep every sip lively. The whole thing comes together in one saucepan with zero fuss, and you can have it chilled and ready to pour in under an hour. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there is no label-reading anxiety or cross-contact concern to stress over — just clean, simple flavors you can feel good about. Garnished with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon slice, it also looks stunning enough to serve at a summer gathering or a lazy weekend brunch.
