Pescatarian Strawberry Lime Iced Tea
This refreshing drink is the kind of thing you'll want to make on repeat all summer long. Fresh strawberries are crushed and strained to create a gorgeous deep-pink infusion, which gets layered with bold black tea, bright lime juice, and just enough maple syrup to round everything out. The result is fruity, tangy, and lightly sweet — way more interesting than anything you'd pour from a bottle. Since every ingredient here is completely plant-based, it fits naturally into a pescatarian lifestyle without any substitutions or workarounds needed. Chilling it down before serving makes a real difference, so the flavors meld and the ice doesn't water it down the moment it hits the glass. Dress it up with lime slices and fresh mint for a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
