Ingredients
6 cups water
2 tbsp loose leaf black tea or 6 tea bags
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 large lemon
1 large lime + more for garnish
1 can club soda
Ice cubes

Instructions
In a medium-sized utensil, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat, add tea, stir and let steep while cooling down completely or until lukewarm.

Strain the tea into a large pitcher; discard the tea leaves. Add maple syrup (or honey), squeeze lemon and lime juice. Add the peels to the pitcher, stir with a long spoon and let them sit for not more than 10 minutes (to avoid the bitter taste of the peels).

Cover pitcher and refrigerate. Right before serving, add ice cubes and a can of club soda to a pitcher. Stir and enjoy the best sparkling healthy iced tea (garnish with thin lime slices if desired). Tastes as amazing without club soda too. Adjust sweetness to taste.
