Mushroom Free Rooibos Tea
Warm, earthy, and just a little spicy from the fresh ginger, this soothing cup is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat. Rooibos brews up into a gorgeous deep reddish-amber that looks as inviting as it tastes, and the honey rounds out any natural bitterness with a gentle sweetness. A splash of milk is completely optional, but it adds a creamy, almost chai-like quality that makes the whole thing feel a little more indulgent. Unlike many flavored teas and blended herbal drinks on store shelves, every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify — no hidden additives or mystery blends to worry about. The fresh ginger gives it a subtle warmth that builds as you sip, making it especially satisfying on a cool evening or as a calming wind-down drink. It comes together in one small saucepan with almost no effort, and the result tastes far more considered than the handful of ingredients would suggest.
