This refreshing drink is the kind of thing you want in your hand the moment warm weather hits — bright, floral, and just tart enough to keep you coming back for another sip. Freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice give it a vibrant citrus punch, while brewed green tea adds a subtle earthy depth that makes it feel a little more grown-up than your average lemonade. Maple syrup sweetens everything naturally, and the tip about not squeezing the tea bags is a small but brilliant move that keeps the flavor clean and smooth rather than bitter. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and nut-free by nature, so there's no label-scanning or second-guessing required — just good, honest produce and pantry staples. Served over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice, it looks as gorgeous as it tastes. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast at a gathering, so you might want to double the batch.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from the heat. Add the green tea bags and steep for 3 minutes, until the tea is a clear, pale gold-green color. Remove and discard the tea bags — do not squeeze them, as this releases bitter tannins.
Stir the maple syrup into the hot tea until fully dissolved. Let the sweetened tea cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, at least 10 minutes.
