This refreshing spritz is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting on a sun-drenched patio even on the most ordinary afternoon. Brewed green tea forms a delicate, earthy base that gets brightened up with freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, then sweetened just enough with maple syrup before sparkling water brings the whole thing to life. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from soy, so there's no label-scanning or second-guessing — just clean, vibrant flavors you can feel good about. The trick to keeping the tea smooth and not bitter is pulling the bags without squeezing them, a small step that makes a noticeable difference in the final glass. Chilling the tea base before combining it with the citrus keeps everything crisp and cold once the sparkling water goes in. Garnished with a thin citrus slice and a sprig of fresh mint, it looks as good as it tastes and comes together with almost no effort. Whether you're serving a crowd or just treating yourself, this is the kind of homemade drink that makes store-bought options feel completely unnecessary.

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.
