Vegan Whole30 Iced Black Tea
Few drinks are as satisfying as a tall glass of iced black tea, and this version is as clean and refreshing as it gets. The method is simple but thoughtful — steeping the bags just long enough to hit that deep amber color without crossing into bitterness makes all the difference. Once the hot tea meets the ice and chills down in the fridge, you end up with something genuinely crisp and smooth. A squeeze of lemon or a sprig of fresh mint takes it from everyday to effortlessly elegant. Since it's made from nothing but water, tea, and ice, it fits comfortably into a plant-based lifestyle without any label-reading or substitutions required. It's the kind of drink you'll want to keep a pitcher of in the fridge all week long.
