Soy Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing drink is everything a summer beverage should be — cool, bright, 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 fills your kitchen with the most inviting aroma. A drizzle of honey and a squeeze of lemon juice round out the flavor with a gentle sweetness and a little citrus zing that makes it feel almost fancy without any real effort. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of soy, so there's no label-reading required — just clean, whole-food ingredients you can feel good about. It's the kind of drink that works equally well as a midday refresher, a dinner party crowd-pleaser, or something to sip slowly on the porch. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice and it looks as good as it tastes.
