Pecan 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. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water, creating a pale green tea that smells absolutely incredible and tastes even better. A touch of honey rounds out the flavors without making it cloying, and the lemon juice adds a clean, citrusy lift that keeps every sip interesting. The whole process is beautifully simple: steep, strain, sweeten, and chill. Since this recipe is built entirely from whole, natural ingredients, there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass — no store-bought blends, no mystery additives. Poured over a tall glass of ice and garnished with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon slice, it looks as good as it tastes.
