Bright, tangy, and genuinely refreshing, this blended iced tea is the kind of drink that makes a hot afternoon feel instantly more manageable. Fresh kiwi brings a tropical sweetness that pairs beautifully with the grassy notes of green tea and a sharp hit of lime juice. Maple syrup rounds everything out without overpowering the fruit, keeping the flavor clean and naturally sweet. Every single ingredient here is whole and straightforward — no grain-based additives, no hidden thickeners, just real food blended together. The fine-mesh straining step is a small but brilliant move, giving you a silky-smooth sip with none of the texture that can make blended drinks feel heavy. Garnished with fresh mint and a lime slice, it looks like something you'd pay way too much for at a café — except you made it at home in under half an hour.

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.
