Cashew Free Nettle Ginger Detox Tea
Earthy, bright, and warming all at once, this herbal tea is the kind of thing you want to curl up with on a slow morning or after a long day. Dried nettle leaf brings a grassy depth that pairs beautifully with the gentle heat of fresh ginger, while a squeeze of lemon lifts the whole cup with a little citrusy zing. A drizzle of raw honey rounds it out if you like a touch of sweetness, though it's completely optional and easy to leave out. The whole process is refreshingly simple — just a quick simmer, a short steep, and a strain, and you're done. For anyone navigating nut allergies or sensitivities, this recipe is naturally worry-free since every ingredient is a whole, unprocessed staple with zero risk of hidden cashew derivatives. It's the kind of clean, honest drink that makes you feel good about what you're putting in your body.
