Lupin Free Iced Mint Tea
There is something deeply refreshing about a glass of iced mint tea made entirely from scratch, and this version delivers on every level. 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 and a squeeze of lemon juice round out the flavor with just the right balance of sweet and bright. Every single ingredient here is clean and straightforward — water, ginger, mint, honey, lemon — so you never have to second-guess what's in your glass the way you might with a bottled or powdered drink mix. It's the kind of recipe that feels effortless but tastes like you really put in the work. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a presentation that's as pretty as it is delicious.
