Legume Free Jasmine Blueberry Iced Tea
Floral, fruity, and deeply refreshing, this iced tea is the kind of drink that makes a regular afternoon feel like a little occasion. Fresh blueberries are muddled and gently simmered until they release a stunning deep purple-red color, then jasmine tea bags are steeped right into that tinted water for a layered, aromatic base you simply can't get from a bottle. A touch of maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice round everything out — sweet, bright, and perfectly balanced. The whole thing gets strained into a pitcher and chilled until cold, so what ends up in your glass is silky-smooth with zero pulp or seeds. Served over ice with optional mint and lemon, it looks almost too pretty to drink. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of beans, lentils, peas, and any other legume, so there's nothing to second-guess — just a clean, gorgeous tea made from scratch.
