If you’re still making sweet tea with gobs of white sugar… stop. 🍯☀️ This homemade honey sweet tea tastes like summer in a glass and is naturally sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar. It’s ridiculously easy, incredibly refreshing, and the perfect drink for BBQs, porch swings, and slow summer evenings. Save this recipe because you’ll be making pitcher after pitcher all season long. 🤎🫖 — Ingredients 8 cups filtered water, divided 3-6 black tea bags (or 2 tbsp loose leaf black tea) ½ cup honey (adjust to taste) 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional, but brightens everything) Pinch of salt Ice for serving Instructions 1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. 2. Remove from heat and add the tea bags. 3. Steep for 5-7 minutes (don’t oversteep or it can get bitter). 4. Remove tea bags. 5. While the tea is still hot, whisk in: ½ cup honey pinch of salt 6. Add the remaining 4 cups cold water. 7. Stir in the lemon juice if using. 8. Chill completely, then serve over lots of ice. For the BEST flavor: - Use orange pekoe or English breakfast tea. - Add a couple lemon slices while chilling. - Garnish with fresh mint. Want it extra sweet? Increase the honey to ⅔ cup for that classic restaurant sweet tea sweetness. My favorite flavor combo: Add 2-3 peach slices to each glass or muddle a few strawberries in the bottom before pouring the tea over ice. It feels like summer in a cup. Storage: Keeps covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Stir before serving since natural honey can settle slightly at the bottom. — #sweettea #summerrecipes #refinedsugarfree #easyrecipe #fromscratch

Refined sugar free, pourable, and tastes like banana bread in latte form?? Sign me up 🍌✨☕️. — Banana Bread Syrup (made with clean ingredients only) ✨Ingredients * 4 tbsp salted butter * 3/4 cup pure maple syrup * 1/4 cup honey * 1 1/4 cups water * 1 banana * 1 tsp cinnamon * 1/4 tsp nutmeg * tiny pinch clove * 1 tsp vanilla extract * pinch flaky salt ⸻ ✨ Instructions 1. Brown the butter & mash the banana Add butter to a saucepan over medium heat. Let it melt, foam, and develop golden brown bits on the bottom. It should smell nutty and warm… almost like fresh baked cookies. Once that’s done, add in one whole banana and mash it up until it’s jammy and fragrant. 2. Build the syrup Lower the heat slightly and whisk in: * maple syrup * honey * 1/2 the water * cinnamon * nutmeg * clove * salt Simmer gently for about 4–5 minutes. Don’t aggressively boil it or it’ll reduce too much and get thick. 3. Add more water and vanilla. Whisk in the rest of the water and add vanilla. Simmer another 1–2 minutes only. The goal is banana flavor — not banana baby food texture. 4. Strain Pour through a fine mesh strainer into a jar or glass bottle. This is what gives it that smooth coffee shop syrup/pourable consistency. ⸻ ✨ Storage Notes Store in the fridge for about 1–2 weeks. Because this syrup contains real browned butter, and real banana, it will naturally separate and slightly solidify in the fridge… that’s normal. Just: * shake it well * or run the bottle under warm water for a few seconds before using Once it hits hot espresso or coffee, it melts perfectly back into the drink. No gums, preservatives, or weird stabilizers needed. ⸻ 🍌☕️ Banana Bread Latte At Home Iced Version * espresso or cold brew * milk of choice * 2–4 tbsp syrup * cinnamon on top — #bananacoffee #homemadecoffee #coffeeathome #coffeesyrups #cleaningredients
