Peanut Free Orange Cinnamon Agua Fresca
This refreshing Mexican-style drink is bright, lightly spiced, and exactly what you want on a warm afternoon. Fresh navel oranges bring natural sweetness and a citrusy punch, while a quick homemade cinnamon tea adds warmth and depth that no store-bought juice can replicate. Maple syrup keeps the sweetness balanced and completely natural, and a pinch of salt ties everything together in a way that makes each sip taste more vibrant. The whole thing gets blended smooth and strained into a pitcher, so the texture is silky and clean — no pulpy surprises. For anyone navigating nut-free eating, this is a genuinely worry-free pour: every ingredient is straightforward, whole, and easy to verify. Serve it over ice with an orange wedge and it looks as good as it tastes.
