Turmeric 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 simmered until they release a gorgeous deep purple-red color, then jasmine tea bags are steeped right into that tinted water for a brew that smells as beautiful as it looks. A splash of lemon juice and a drizzle of maple syrup round everything out with just the right balance of bright and sweet. The whole thing gets strained into a pitcher, chilled down, and poured over ice — simple steps that deliver a seriously stunning result. Because every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable food, there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything hiding in a spice blend or flavoring. Serve it with fresh mint and lemon slices for a glass that looks like it came from a café menu, no barista required.
