Walnut Free Iced Mint Tea
This refreshing drink is everything you want on a warm day — cool, bright, and just a little bit zingy. Fresh mint leaves steep in hot ginger-infused water until the liquid turns a gorgeous pale green and smells absolutely incredible. A drizzle of honey adds gentle sweetness while fresh lemon juice brings a citrusy lift that makes the whole thing feel alive. It comes together with nothing but whole, simple ingredients, so there's zero guesswork about what's actually in your glass. Poured over a tall pile of ice and garnished with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it looks as good as it tastes. Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or just treating yourself on a Tuesday afternoon, this is the kind of drink that disappears fast.
