Shellfish Free Strawberry Basil Iced Tea

This drink is the definition of summer in a glass — fruity, herbal, and just sweet enough to feel like a treat without going overboard. Fresh strawberries are simmered down with maple syrup until they release a gorgeous deep-pink juice, then fresh basil is steeped right into that syrup for a flavor combination that feels fancy but comes together with pantry staples. The basil adds this subtle, almost floral savory note that makes the whole thing taste way more interesting than your average fruit tea. Everything here is naturally free of any seafood or ocean-derived ingredients, so there's zero need to scrutinize a label or worry about what's hiding in a store-bought mix. Brewed black tea gives it a proper backbone, and the final result is a pitcher drink that's genuinely refreshing over a big glass of ice. It's the kind of thing you'll want to keep in the fridge all week for easy pouring.
