Peanut Free Sparkling Coffee Maple Agua Fresca
Cold brew, maple syrup, fresh lime juice, and a hit of sparkling water come together in a drink that feels equal parts refreshing and indulgent. The overnight steep pulls a smooth, low-acid concentrate from coarsely ground coffee, so the final glass has serious depth without any bitterness. A splash of lime and a pinch of salt sharpen everything up and keep the maple from tipping too sweet. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination anxiety to worry about — just a genuinely delicious drink. It's the kind of thing you can batch ahead and keep in the fridge, then top with sparkling water right before serving for that satisfying fizz. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top and you've got a café-worthy beverage that costs a fraction of anything you'd order at a counter.
