Bright, fruity, and completely refreshing, this strawberry lime iced tea is the kind of drink that makes any afternoon feel like a special occasion. Fresh strawberries are crushed and strained to create a gorgeous deep-pink infusion, which gets layered with bold black tea and a hit of tangy lime juice for a flavor combination that's both vibrant and balanced. A touch of maple syrup sweetens everything naturally without overpowering the fruit. Since this recipe is built entirely from produce, tea, and pantry staples, it's naturally free from any animal proteins β no hidden meat-derived additives or broths to worry about, which can sometimes sneak into flavored drink mixes and syrups at the store. The result is a pitcher of iced tea that looks stunning garnished with lime slices and fresh mint, and tastes even better than it looks. It's the kind of recipe you'll want to keep on rotation all summer long.

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.
