Pescatarian Iced Mint Tea
Fresh mint, bright lemon, and a hint of warming ginger come together in a drink that feels genuinely refreshing rather than just sweet. Steeping the mint off the heat keeps the flavor clean and herbaceous — none of that bitter, over-brewed quality you sometimes get with bottled versions. A spoonful of honey rounds everything out without overpowering the citrus, and the squeeze of fresh lemon juice gives the whole glass a lively lift. It's the kind of drink that looks effortlessly elegant with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice perched on the rim. Whether you're serving it at a backyard gathering or just pouring yourself a tall glass on a warm afternoon, this one disappears fast.
