This bright, bubbly drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Steeped green tea forms a deep golden-green base with just enough earthy depth to balance the bold citrus punch from fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice. Maple syrup sweetens everything naturally, dissolving right into the warm tea so every sip is smooth and perfectly balanced. Chilled sparkling water goes in at the very end, keeping that satisfying fizz alive all the way to the last drop. For anyone navigating a mushroom-free lifestyle, this is the kind of refreshing drink you can enjoy without a second thought — every single ingredient is clean, simple, and completely free of any fungal concerns. A garnish of fresh mint and a citrus wheel makes it look almost too pretty to drink, though it definitely won't last long once it hits the table.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the green tea base

2 cups water
3 green tea bags
3 tbsp maple syrup
½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 medium oranges)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)

To finish

2 cups sparkling water, chilled
1 cup ice cubes

For serving

4 thin orange or lime slices, for garnish (optional)
4 fresh mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
