Bright, tangy, and impossibly refreshing, this blended iced tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel like a vacation. Fresh kiwi brings a tropical sweetness that pairs beautifully with the grassy notes of green tea and a sharp hit of real lime juice. Maple syrup rounds everything out without overpowering the fruit, keeping the flavor clean and naturally balanced. The whole thing gets blended smooth and strained, so you get a silky, vibrant drink with zero graininess or stray seeds. Grain-based ingredients have no place here — every component is straightforwardly fruit, tea, and a touch of natural sweetener, so there's nothing to second-guess on the label. Garnish with a few mint leaves and a lime wheel and it looks like something you'd pay too much for at a café. Make it at home in under half an hour and wonder why you ever did anything else on a warm day.

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.
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.
