Tree Nut Free Kiwi Lime Iced Tea
This drink is the kind of thing that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere tropical even if you're just at your kitchen counter. Bright, tangy kiwi meets grassy green tea and a hit of fresh lime juice for a layered flavor that's refreshing in the best possible way. A touch of maple syrup rounds everything out without making it cloying, and the whole thing comes together in a blender — no complicated technique required. Straining out the kiwi seeds gives you a silky-smooth pour that looks just as good as it tastes. Every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, so there's no label-reading stress or substitution gymnastics involved — just clean, vibrant produce and pantry staples. Garnish with a few mint leaves and a lime wheel and it looks like something you'd pay way too much for at a café.
