Mustard Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing drink is everything you want on a warm day — cool, herbal, and just bright enough from a squeeze of fresh lemon. Steeping whole mint leaves in hot ginger-infused water pulls out an incredible depth of flavor that no bottled tea can match. A touch of honey rounds it all out with gentle sweetness, and the result is something that feels fancy without requiring much effort at all. Since it's made entirely from fresh produce and pantry staples, there's zero guesswork about hidden condiments or spice blends sneaking in where they shouldn't. The ginger adds a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the cool mint, making every sip feel balanced and intentional. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon wheel, and it looks as good as it tastes.
