Nutmeg Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing iced tea is everything you want on a warm day — cool, bright, and just a little zingy from fresh ginger and lemon. The mint steeps directly in hot ginger-infused water, pulling out every bit of that clean, herbal fragrance before honey rounds it all out into something genuinely craveable. It's the kind of drink that looks fancy in a glass with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, but comes together with almost no effort at all. Because every ingredient here is a whole, simple food, there's zero need to scan labels or second-guess what's hiding in a store-bought bottle. The honey adds just enough sweetness without overpowering the mint, and the lemon keeps things lively and fresh rather than flat. Make a big pitcher and keep it in the fridge — it disappears fast.
