Brazil Nut Free Lavender Lemon Balm Tea
There is something genuinely calming about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of floral, herb-forward tea made entirely from scratch. Fresh lemon balm brings a bright, citrusy lift while dried lavender buds add that soft, aromatic depth that makes this feel like a proper ritual rather than just a hot drink. A squeeze of lemon juice sharpens everything up, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds it out without overpowering the delicate botanicals. The whole process is beautifully simple — a gentle simmer, a short steep, and a quick strain is all it takes. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there is no label-reading anxiety or cross-contamination guesswork involved. This is the kind of recipe that works just as well on a slow Sunday morning as it does winding down before bed.
