Mushroom Free Rooibos Orange Iced Tea
Earthy, naturally sweet, and kissed with citrus, this iced tea is the kind of refreshing drink that feels like a little luxury on a warm afternoon. Rooibos brings a smooth, slightly nutty depth that pairs beautifully with the brightness of fresh orange rounds steeped right in the brew. A touch of maple syrup rounds everything out without overpowering the delicate floral notes of the tea. The whole process is wonderfully low-effort — steep, sweeten, chill, and pour — making it an ideal make-ahead option for entertaining or just treating yourself. Since every ingredient here is straightforward and plant-based, there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass. Finish it off with a sprig of fresh mint for a pop of color and a cool, herby lift that takes the whole thing up a notch.
