This refreshing spritz is the kind of drink that looks like it came from a fancy café but comes together in your own kitchen with just a handful of wholesome ingredients. Brewed green tea forms a delicate, slightly grassy base that pairs beautifully with the bright punch of fresh orange and lime juice, all lightly sweetened with maple syrup. The trick to getting it just right is steeping the tea without squeezing the bags — that one small step keeps the flavor clean and smooth rather than bitter. Once the tea base is chilled and combined with the citrus, you just pour it over ice and top with sparkling water for that satisfying fizz. It's naturally free from anything that could cause concern, since every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify at a glance. Garnished with a citrus slice and a sprig of fresh mint, it's as pretty as it is delicious — perfect for a warm afternoon or whenever you want something a little more special than plain water.

Bring 2 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 deep golden-green. Remove and discard the 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 15 minutes, then refrigerate until cold, at least 15 minutes more.
