Mustard Free Sage & Thyme Steam-Sip Tea
Herbal teas can be a surprisingly tricky category when you're avoiding mustard, since many commercial blends and wellness teas sneak in unexpected botanicals or are processed on shared lines. This one is made entirely from scratch with just a handful of fresh ingredients you can see and trust. Sage and thyme simmer together into something deeply aromatic — earthy, a little floral, and warming in a way that feels genuinely restorative. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the whole cup, and a drizzle of raw honey rounds it out with gentle sweetness if you want it. The steam-sip method is a lovely touch: before you even take your first sip, you can hold the mug close and breathe in the rising herbal steam for a minute or two. It's the kind of simple, intentional ritual that makes a quiet morning or a slow evening feel like a small luxury. Clean, calming, and completely made on your own terms.
