Oats Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing iced tea is everything you want on a warm day — cool, bright, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and smells absolutely incredible. A drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon round out the flavor with a gentle sweetness and a little citrus zing. The whole thing comes together with nothing but whole, simple ingredients, so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, this kind of recipe is a breath of fresh air — no labels to scrutinize, no hidden additives, just clean and naturally safe sipping. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a presentation that looks far fancier than the effort involved. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
