This bright, bubbly drink is everything you want on a warm afternoon — refreshing, lightly sweet, and layered with the kind of citrus flavor that actually tastes like real fruit. Steeped green tea forms the backbone, balanced by fresh-squeezed orange and lime juice and just enough maple syrup to round out the tartness without tipping into sugary territory. Topped with chilled sparkling water, it has a satisfying fizz that makes it feel genuinely festive. Every single ingredient here is exactly what it says it is — no processed oils, no mystery additives, just clean, whole-food components you can feel good about. The technique is simple but thoughtful: steeping the tea without squeezing the bags keeps bitterness at bay, and chilling the base before mixing means the ice doesn't get overwhelmed. Dress each glass with a citrus slice and a sprig of fresh mint and it looks like something you'd pay twelve dollars for at a café.

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.
