Legume Free Orange Cinnamon Agua Fresca

Bright, citrusy, and lightly spiced, this agua fresca is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're sitting somewhere sunny even on an ordinary afternoon. Fresh navel oranges are blended with a homemade cinnamon tea — just a simmered cinnamon stick and water — which gives the whole thing a warm, aromatic depth that store-bought juice simply can't match. A touch of maple syrup and a pinch of salt round out the flavor beautifully, balancing the natural sweetness of the oranges without tipping into sugary territory. The blended mixture gets strained through a fine-mesh sieve, so what ends up in your glass is silky smooth and refreshingly clean. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of legumes, so there's no label-reading or substitution stress involved — just whole, simple produce and pantry staples. Poured over ice with an orange wedge on the rim, it's as pretty as it is delicious, and impressive enough to serve at a gathering without any extra effort.
