Tree Nut Free Rooibos Orange Iced Tea
Earthy, citrusy, and naturally sweet, this iced tea is the kind of drink that makes you feel like you've got your life together. Rooibos brings a smooth, slightly floral depth that pairs beautifully with fresh orange rounds steeped right into the brew, letting the fruit infuse every sip with bright, sunny flavor. A touch of maple syrup rounds everything out without being cloying — no refined sugar, no fuss. The whole process is wonderfully hands-off: steep, cool, chill, and strain. Fresh mint on top is optional, but it adds a little something that makes the glass look as good as it tastes. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of tree nuts, so there's zero guesswork about what's in your glass. It's the perfect pitcher drink for a warm afternoon or whenever you need something refreshing that feels just a little bit fancy.
