AIP Friendly Nettle Ginger Detox Tea
Warming, earthy, and quietly invigorating, this herbal tea is the kind of thing you'll want to curl up with on a slow morning or after a long day. Dried nettle leaf brings a grassy, mineral depth, while fresh ginger adds a gentle heat that feels almost medicinal in the best possible way. A squeeze of lemon brightens everything up, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds it out with just enough sweetness — though it's completely optional if you prefer to keep things stripped back. For anyone navigating an elimination protocol, finding comforting drinks that don't rely on caffeine, nightshades, or common irritants can feel limiting, but this one checks every box without compromise. Every ingredient here is clean, whole, and straightforward — nothing processed, nothing hidden. It comes together in under fifteen minutes with just a saucepan and a strainer, making it one of the easiest ways to support your body while actually enjoying what's in your mug.
