Mustard Free Whole30 Iced Black Tea
Few drinks hit as refreshingly as a tall glass of iced black tea, and this version is as clean and simple as it gets. Brewed to a deep amber and chilled over ice, it delivers bold, full-bodied flavor without any of the sweeteners, additives, or flavoring agents that can sneak into store-bought bottled teas. The technique here matters — steeping for just the right amount of time and skipping the squeeze on the tea bags keeps the brew smooth rather than bitter. A squeeze of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint take it from everyday to genuinely refreshing, though it stands on its own just fine. With only three core ingredients, this is the kind of drink you can pull together without a second thought, and it fits seamlessly into a clean-eating reset without feeling like a compromise.
