Cashew Free Kiwi Lime Iced Tea
This drink is the kind of thing you make once and immediately want every single day of summer. Bright, tangy kiwi meets fresh lime juice and grassy green tea in a blended iced tea that tastes genuinely refreshing — not like a syrupy store-bought imitation. A touch of maple syrup brings just enough sweetness to balance the citrus without tipping into dessert territory. The whole thing gets strained through a fine-mesh sieve so you get a silky-smooth sip with zero kiwi seeds getting in the way. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning required — just real, whole fruit and pantry staples. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint if you want it to look as good as it tastes.
