Tropical, zingy, and deeply refreshing, this iced tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you're somewhere warm even on an ordinary afternoon. Fresh ginger is simmered directly in the water before the tea bags go in, which means every sip carries that bright, slightly spicy warmth without any artificial flavoring. Pineapple juice and a squeeze of lime bring a fruity tartness that plays beautifully against the deep, malty backbone of black tea, while maple syrup rounds everything out with a gentle sweetness you can dial up or down to your liking. The whole process is straightforward — steep, strain, chill, pour — and every single ingredient is naturally free of grain-based concerns, so there's nothing to second-guess on the label. Pineapple wedges and fresh mint make for a stunning garnish if you're serving guests, but honestly it looks gorgeous even without them. Keep a pitcher in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it all week long.

Combine the water and sliced ginger in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes, until the tea is deep amber and fragrant.
Remove and discard the tea bags. Stir in the maple syrup until fully dissolved. Let the ginger continue to steep in the hot tea for another 5 minutes, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a pitcher, pressing the ginger slices to extract their flavor; discard the solids.
