This refreshing drink is the kind of thing you want waiting in the fridge on a hot afternoon β bright, fruity, and just tart enough to keep you coming back for another glass. Fresh strawberries are crushed and strained to create a gorgeous deep-pink infusion, while lime juice adds a zippy citrus edge that makes the whole thing feel alive. Maple syrup sweetens the black tea base in a way that feels a little more interesting than plain sugar, blending seamlessly into the brew. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-reading stress or cross-contact concerns to worry about. The result is a vibrant, crowd-pleasing pitcher drink that looks stunning garnished with lime slices and fresh mint. It's the kind of homemade refreshment that makes store-bought iced tea feel completely unnecessary.

Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat, add the tea bags, and steep for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the tea bags, then stir in the maple syrup until dissolved. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
While the tea cools, combine the strawberries and 1 cup cold water in the saucepan (or a separate bowl). Use a fork or the back of a spoon to crush the strawberries until they release their juice and the water turns deep pink, about 1 minute.
