Walnut Free Jasmine Blueberry Iced Tea
Floral, fruity, and refreshingly tart, 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 steeped with jasmine tea bags for a fragrant, layered flavor that's genuinely hard to stop sipping. A touch of maple syrup and fresh lemon juice round everything out — sweet but not cloying, bright but not sharp. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. Straining the blueberry solids leaves you with a silky, jewel-toned tea that looks stunning poured over ice with a sprig of mint and a lemon slice. It's the kind of homemade drink that impresses guests without requiring any real effort, and it chills beautifully in the fridge so you can make it ahead.
