Bright, tangy, and refreshing, this iced tea is the kind of drink that feels like a treat without any of the ingredient stress that comes with managing a restrictive elimination diet. Steeped black tea gets layered with real orange zest and pure unsweetened cranberry juice — no fillers, no apple juice blends, no hidden additives that could sneak in problematic ingredients. Maple syrup brings just enough natural sweetness to balance the tartness of the cranberry, and the whole thing comes together with pantry staples you can easily vet label by label. The process is simple: steep, strain, chill, and pour — no special equipment beyond a saucepan and a pitcher. It's the kind of recipe that rewards a little patience, since a proper two-hour chill in the fridge makes the flavors meld beautifully. Serve it over ice with an orange slice on the rim and you've got something that looks and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved.
