Ingredients
1/2 cup brewed black tea (chilled)

1/4 tsp orange extract (or a splash of orange juice)
1–2 tsp maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
1/2 cup sparkling water or diet cola
Ice
Lemon slice and mint for garnish
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of black tea, then chill in the fridge for at least 15–20 minutes.

Add chilled tea and stir or shake with ice until well combined.
Pour over ice into a tall glass.
Top with sparkling water or diet cola for fizz.

Notes
Optional Twists:
Use herbal tea (like rooibos or hibiscus) instead of black tea for a caffeine-free version. Add a dash of apple cider vinegar for an extra tang and health kick. Swap sparkling water for ginger kombucha if tolerated (adds a fermented zing). 🍹 Why You’ll Love It
