This refreshing spritz is built entirely from clean, whole ingredients — brewed green tea, fresh-squeezed citrus, a touch of maple syrup, and chilled sparkling water. It's the kind of drink that looks like it came from a fancy café but comes together in your own kitchen with almost no effort. Nightshade-free living can sometimes feel limiting when it comes to flavored beverages, since many store-bought options sneak in unexpected additives or botanical blends that aren't always clearly labeled. Here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. The trick to getting the tea just right is a careful three-minute steep without squeezing the bags, which keeps the flavor bright and clean rather than bitter. A splash of orange juice and a hit of lime give it a lively, layered tartness that the maple syrup rounds out beautifully. Serve it over ice with a citrus slice and a sprig of fresh mint for a drink that feels genuinely celebratory.

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.
