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 the backbone, steeped carefully to avoid any bitterness, then sweetened with maple syrup for a naturally rounded sweetness that doesn't overpower. Fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice bring a bright, sunny citrus punch that makes every sip feel alive and vibrant. Chilled sparkling water is added at the very end to keep those bubbles lively, so the texture stays crisp and effervescent right down to the last drop. A sprig of fresh mint and a thin citrus wheel on the rim make it look effortlessly elegant — perfect for brunch, a backyard gathering, or just a slow afternoon treat. Every single ingredient here is plant-based and naturally free of any seafood or meat concerns, so it fits seamlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle without any label-reading stress. It's simple, stunning, and genuinely delicious.

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.
