Tree Nut Free Ginger Lemon Iced Tea

This refreshing iced tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting on a porch somewhere warm, even if you're just in your kitchen. Fresh ginger is simmered low and slow until the water turns fragrant and golden, giving the whole thing a gentle, spicy backbone that pairs beautifully with bright lemon juice and the subtle sweetness of maple syrup. Black tea rounds it all out with depth and a little caffeine kick, making this just as satisfying in the afternoon as it is at a summer cookout. The whole process is wonderfully straightforward — steep, strain, chill, and pour. Since every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, there's no label-checking or substitution stress involved whatsoever. Served over ice with a few lemon slices and a sprig of fresh mint, it looks like something you'd pay too much for at a café — but it's made entirely at home with pantry staples and fresh produce.
