Mustard Free Lavender Lemon Balm Tea
There is something genuinely calming about a cup of tea made entirely from scratch, and this floral herbal blend delivers that feeling in every sip. Fresh lemon balm brings a bright, citrusy lift while dried lavender buds add a soft, aromatic depth that feels almost spa-like. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice sharpens the whole thing beautifully, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds it out if you like a touch of sweetness. The steeping process is gentle and intentional — no rolling boil, just a quiet simmer that coaxes out the best of both herbs without turning bitter. For anyone navigating a mustard allergy or sensitivity, herbal teas can sometimes feel like a minefield when store-bought blends include unexpected botanicals from the same plant family, but every ingredient here is clean, simple, and easy to verify. This is the kind of recipe that takes almost no effort and rewards you with something that tastes genuinely thoughtful.
