Pecan 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 something special. Fresh blueberries are muddled and simmered until they release a gorgeous 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 just a little tart. The whole thing gets strained into a pitcher, chilled, and poured over ice, making it as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contact stress to worry about — just clean, wholesome sipping. Serve it with fresh mint and lemon slices for a presentation that looks like it came from a fancy café, no barista required.
