Lupin Free Coffee Maple Iced Tea
This drink is the kind of thing you make once and immediately want every single morning. Sweetened with maple syrup and layered over cold-brew coffee concentrate, it delivers a rich, complex flavor that feels far more special than anything you'd grab from a café drive-through. The maple dissolves right into the steeped black tea, adding a warm, caramel-like depth that plays beautifully against the bold bitterness of the coffee layer beneath. Pouring the cold-brew slowly over the back of a spoon creates that gorgeous two-tone effect in the glass — it's genuinely impressive for something this simple to pull together. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from any legume-derived additives or flours, so there's no label-scanning required. Make the tea the night before, and assembly the next day takes about two minutes. Stir it together or sip it layered — either way, it's a seriously satisfying glass.
