This refreshing spritzer is built around real, whole ingredients — steeped green tea, fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice, and a touch of maple syrup for natural sweetness. For anyone navigating a citric-acid sensitivity, the challenge with drinks like this is usually the processed additives hiding in store-bought sodas, flavored waters, and bottled juice blends. Here, every drop of flavor comes straight from fruit you squeeze yourself, so there's no mystery ingredient list to decode. The green tea base is steeped carefully to avoid bitterness, then chilled and combined with the bright juices before sparkling water lifts the whole thing into something genuinely celebratory. It's the kind of drink that looks impressive in a glass with a mint sprig and a citrus wheel, but comes together with almost no effort. Serve it at a summer gathering or just make a pitcher for yourself on a warm afternoon — either way, it disappears fast.

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.
