Tree Nut Free White Tea Cucumber Cooler

This drink is the definition of effortless elegance — pale, fragrant, and quietly refreshing in a way that feels almost spa-like without any fuss. White tea is steeped low and slow at just below a simmer, which preserves its delicate floral notes and keeps the whole base light rather than bitter. Raw honey melts right in while the tea is still warm, adding just enough sweetness to round out the brightness from fresh lemon juice. Cucumber and ginger steep together in the pitcher, layering in cool, clean flavor with a gentle little kick. The whole thing comes together in a single pitcher and chills in the fridge until you're ready to pour — no blender, no complicated steps, no specialty ingredients to track down. For anyone navigating tree nut allergies, drinks like this can sometimes hide almond milk or nut-based syrups in restaurant or store-bought versions, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Garnish with a few mint leaves and a cucumber ribbon and it looks like something you'd pay twelve dollars for at a rooftop bar.
