Macadamia Free Iced Mint Tea
There is something deeply refreshing about a homemade iced tea that no bottled version can quite match, and this mint-forward brew delivers that in every sip. 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 round everything out, giving you a drink that's bright, lightly sweet, and just a little zingy. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so you can sip without a second thought about what might be hiding in a store-bought blend. The ginger adds a subtle warmth that makes this feel more sophisticated than your average summer drink, and the whole process is genuinely simple. Pour it over a tall glass of ice, tuck in a sprig of fresh mint, and you've got something that looks as good as it tastes.
