Few drinks hit the spot quite like a tall glass of iced black tea, and this version is as clean and refreshing as it gets. Managing blood sugar and hormone balance often means cutting out sweetened beverages, which can make summer sipping feel pretty limited — this recipe solves that without any sacrifice. Brewed strong and chilled over ice, the tea develops a deep, amber richness that's satisfying entirely on its own. The trick is a careful steep of four to five minutes, pulling the bags before any bitterness creeps in, so every sip stays smooth and bright. A squeeze of lemon or a few fresh mint sprigs at serving adds a little lift without any added sugar or artificial ingredients. It's the kind of drink you can make a big pitcher of and keep in the fridge all week, ready whenever you need something cold and genuinely good.
