Peanut Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing iced mint tea is the kind of drink that instantly makes a hot day feel more manageable. Fresh mint leaves steep in ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and smells absolutely incredible. A touch of honey adds gentle sweetness while fresh lemon juice brightens everything up, creating a balance that feels both sophisticated and deeply satisfying. The whole process is beautifully straightforward — boil, steep, strain, and chill — so you're never far from a glass of something truly special. Unlike store-bought bottled teas that can carry surprising additives or shared-facility warnings, this one is made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients you control from start to finish. Poured over a tall glass of ice and garnished with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it looks as good as it tastes.
