Paleo Iced Mint Tea
Fresh ginger simmered in water, steeped with a generous handful of mint, and brightened with real lemon juice — this iced tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're doing something genuinely good for yourself. Honey steps in as the only sweetener, keeping things naturally sweet without any refined sugar or artificial additives that can sneak into bottled teas and drink mixes. The result is a clean, cooling glass that fits seamlessly into a whole-foods approach to eating. Ginger brings a subtle warmth that plays beautifully against the cool mint, and the lemon adds just enough brightness to make every sip feel refreshing rather than flat. It comes together on the stovetop with almost no effort — steep, strain, chill, and pour. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon slice if you want it to look as good as it tastes.
