This vibrant iced tea is everything you want in a warm-weather drink — bright, tangy, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat. Fresh kiwi gets blended right into the cooled green tea base along with squeezed lime juice and a touch of maple syrup, then strained smooth so you get all the flavor without the seeds. The result is a gorgeous, jewel-toned sip that tastes far more complex than the short ingredient list suggests. For anyone navigating a low FODMAP lifestyle, finding refreshing drinks that don't rely on high-fructose fruit juices or hidden sweeteners can be genuinely tricky — this one keeps things clean and within safe thresholds. Maple syrup steps in as a gut-friendly sweetener, and the kiwi portions are sized to stay comfortably in the low FODMAP range per serving. It comes together in well under an hour, makes two generous glasses, and looks stunning with a lime slice and a few mint leaves on top. Whether you're sipping it poolside or just need a midday reset, this is the kind of homemade drink that makes you wonder why you ever bought the bottled stuff.

Ingredients

2 servings

For the tea base

2 cups water
2 green tea bags

For blending

3 medium kiwis, peeled and roughly chopped
Ingredient note
Kiwi only becomes a problem on a low FODMAP diet in large amounts; this recipe works out to about 1 1/2 medium kiwis per serving, within the range shown to be tolerated, so it is likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid kiwi, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 cup ice cubes

For serving

lime slices, for serving (optional)
fresh mint leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 3–4 minutes, until the tea is a deep golden-green. Remove the bags without squeezing, then let the tea cool to room temperature, about 15–20 minutes.
2
Add the cooled tea, chopped kiwi, lime juice, maple syrup, and ice to a blender. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until completely smooth with no visible kiwi chunks.
