Brazil Nut Free Lemon Ginger Honey Tea
Warm, soothing, and bright with citrus, this homemade tea is the kind of drink that feels like a hug in a mug. Fresh ginger simmers low and slow until the water turns fragrant and golden, then lemon juice and raw honey round everything out into something genuinely restorative. A pinch of turmeric is optional but adds a beautiful warmth and a subtle earthy depth if you're in the mood for it. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination stress — just clean, simple pantry staples doing their thing. It comes together in well under 20 minutes and makes two servings, so it's perfect for sharing on a slow morning or winding down in the evening. The lemon round floating on top is a small touch that makes it feel a little fancy without any extra effort.
