Coconut Free Whole30 Iced Black Tea

Iced black tea is one of those drinks that sounds simple but is so easy to get wrong — too bitter, too weak, or loaded with sweeteners and flavorings that have no business being in your glass. This version keeps things completely clean: just water, black tea, and ice, with optional lemon and fresh mint for a little brightness. The key is pulling the bags at exactly the right moment — that 4-to-5-minute window gives you a deep amber brew that's bold without tipping into astringency. Squeezing the bags is a common mistake that releases bitter tannins, so resisting that urge makes a real difference. Pouring the hot tea over ice and then chilling it in the fridge means you get a properly cold, refreshing drink without any dilution or off flavors. It's the kind of effortless, ingredient-label-free refreshment that fits seamlessly into a clean-eating reset without feeling like a compromise.
