This refreshing iced tea is bright, lightly sweet, and layered with real citrus flavor that makes it feel like something you'd order at a fancy café. Green tea is steeped at a careful low temperature to keep it smooth and mellow, then balanced with fresh lemon and orange juice along with their zests for a drink that's genuinely vibrant. Maple syrup does the sweetening here, dissolving right into the warm tea for a clean, rounded finish without any harsh edges. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally grain-free, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — it's just whole, simple components working beautifully together. Make a pitcher the night before and it's ready to pour straight from the fridge whenever you need it, which makes it perfect for warm afternoons or casual entertaining. The optional mint and citrus garnish take it from everyday to genuinely impressive with almost zero extra effort.

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.
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.
