Xanthan Gum Free Green Tea Citrus Agua Fresca

This refreshing drink lands somewhere between a light iced tea and a bright citrus cooler — the kind of thing you want in a tall glass on a warm afternoon. Freshly squeezed orange and lime juice give it a vivid, natural tang, while brewed green tea adds a subtle earthy depth that makes the whole thing feel a little more interesting than plain lemonade. Maple syrup sweetens it gently without overpowering the citrus, and a pinch of salt quietly ties every flavor together. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of thickeners and stabilizers, so there's nothing to scrutinize on a label and nothing to swap out. The technique is straightforward — steep, chill, juice, combine — and the result looks genuinely beautiful garnished with a thin citrus slice and a sprig of fresh mint. It's the kind of drink that feels fancy enough for a dinner party but easy enough to make on a Tuesday just because you're thirsty.
