Ingredients

4 servings

4 cups water
4 green tea bags
3 tbsp maple syrup
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
¼ cup fresh orange juice (from about 1 medium orange)
Ingredient note
Fruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the orange juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp lemon zest
Ingredient note
Low residue diets limit citrus peel because it adds fiber and residue. The small amount of lemon zest here contributes very little, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tsp orange zest
Ingredient note
Low Residue diets limit citrus peel because peel is high in fiber, but the orange zest here amounts to a trace per serving, so it is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid orange peel, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

For serving

2 cups ice cubes
lemon or orange slices, for garnish (optional)
fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 4 cups of water to 175°F (80°C) in a medium saucepan — just below a simmer, with small bubbles beginning to form at the bottom. Remove from heat.
2
Add the green tea bags and steep for 3 minutes, then remove and discard the bags. Do not squeeze the bags, as this releases bitter tannins.
