Lactose Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing iced tea is exactly what a hot day calls for — 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 smells absolutely incredible. A touch of honey sweetens everything naturally, giving it a floral depth that plain sugar just can't match. The whole thing is naturally free of any dairy, so there's zero swapping or substituting needed — it's just clean, simple ingredients doing their thing. Ginger adds a subtle warmth that makes each sip feel a little more interesting than your average iced tea. Pour it over a tall glass of ice and add a sprig of mint or a lemon slice for a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
