Latex Free Whole30 Iced Black Tea
Iced black tea is one of those refreshing classics that hits differently when you make it from scratch at home. Steeping the bags just long enough to reach that deep amber color — without going bitter — is the real trick here, and the method keeps it smooth and clean-tasting every time. Skipping the squeeze on the tea bags is a small detail that makes a big difference in the final flavor. Once it's chilled and poured over ice, a squeeze of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint take it from simple to genuinely satisfying. For anyone navigating a latex sensitivity, this kind of stripped-back drink is a relief — no mystery additives, no preservatives, just tea and water. It's the kind of beverage that fits seamlessly into a clean-eating reset without feeling like a compromise.
