Hazelnut Free Whole30 Iced Black Tea
Few drinks are as satisfying as a tall glass of iced black tea, especially when it's brewed fresh at home and chilled to perfection. The method here is simple but deliberate — steeping the bags just long enough to hit that deep amber sweetness without crossing into bitterness makes all the difference. Bottled and canned teas can hide all kinds of additives and flavorings you'd rather not think about, so brewing your own means you know exactly what's in the glass. The optional lemon wedges and fresh mint take it from everyday refreshment to something that feels genuinely special. It's clean, crisp, and completely free of anything unnecessary — just tea, water, and ice doing exactly what they're supposed to do.
