Seed Oil Free Iced Mint Tea
This iced mint tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel instantly refreshed — cool, fragrant, and just sweet enough to keep you coming back for another glass. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and smells absolutely incredible. Honey brings gentle sweetness without any refined sugar, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice ties everything together with a bright, citrusy lift. Every single ingredient here is whole and unprocessed, so there's no need to flip labels or second-guess what's hiding in a store-bought bottle. Bottled teas and flavored drinks are notorious for sneaking in refined vegetable or seed oils through added flavorings and emulsifiers — making homemade the obvious move. The method is simple enough for any skill level: boil, steep, strain, and chill. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice for a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
