Hazelnut Free Rooibos Orange Iced Tea
Earthy, citrusy, and naturally sweet, this iced tea is the kind of refreshing drink that feels a little fancy without requiring any real effort. Rooibos brings a warm, slightly floral depth that pairs beautifully with fresh orange rounds steeped right in the brew, while a touch of maple syrup rounds everything out without overpowering the delicate flavors. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and clean — no flavored syrups, no pre-made mixes, and absolutely no risk of hidden tree nut traces that can sneak into packaged beverages or café drinks. The orange slices do double duty, infusing the tea as it cools and making the pitcher look gorgeous in the fridge. A handful of fresh mint on top adds a bright, herby finish that takes it from simple to stunning. This is the kind of drink you make on a Sunday and sip all week long.
