High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Kiwi Lime Iced Tea
This vibrant, blended iced tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere tropical, even if you're just at your kitchen counter. Kiwi brings a bright, slightly tart sweetness that pairs beautifully with fresh lime juice and the grassy notes of green tea. The whole thing comes together in a blender, then gets strained smooth so you get all that gorgeous flavor without any of the seeds. Sweetening with maple syrup instead of the corn syrup-laden syrups found in most bottled teas and coffee shop drinks means you're in full control of what goes into your glass. It's a refreshing reminder that a truly great iced tea doesn't need any processed sweeteners to taste incredible. Garnish with a few mint leaves and a lime slice and it looks almost too pretty to drink — almost.
