Soy Free Rooibos Tea
Warm, earthy, and just a little spicy from the fresh ginger, this cup is the kind of thing you'll want to make on a slow morning or whenever you need a moment to breathe. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and has a naturally sweet, slightly nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with honey and a touch of milk. Unlike a lot of packaged teas and flavored drinks that can hide unexpected additives, this one is made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients — so you know exactly what's in your mug. Simmering the ginger directly in the water first pulls out its warmth and depth before the tea even steeps, which makes a real difference in the final flavor. A drizzle of honey rounds everything out, and that optional splash of milk turns it into something almost creamy and indulgent. It's simple enough to throw together on a weeknight but feels special enough to serve to a guest.
