Fish Free Whole30 Iced Black Tea
Few drinks hit the spot quite like a tall glass of iced black tea on a warm afternoon, and this version is as clean and refreshing as it gets. The process is simple — steep, strain, chill — but the details matter, like pulling the bags before they turn bitter and letting the tea cool gradually with ice before it goes into the fridge. What you end up with is a deep amber, full-flavored glass that tastes like it came from a great café, not a bottle loaded with additives or mystery sweeteners. A squeeze of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint take it from everyday to genuinely lovely without any extra effort. It's naturally free of anything fishy or processed, made entirely from pantry staples you already have on hand. Whether you're doing a Whole30 reset or just want something honest and thirst-quenching, this is the kind of drink you'll come back to all week long.
