Description
A delightful, fruity Raspberry Iced Tea perfect for summer gatherings, rich in flavor and memories.
Ingredients
- Black Tea Bags (4-5)
- Fresh Raspberries (1 cup)
- Water (4 cups)
- Sugar (or Honey) (½ cup)
- Lemon Juice (2 tablespoons)
- Mint Leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tea: In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add in your black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5-7 minutes.
- Sweeten the Tea: After steeping, remove the tea bags and add your sugar (or honey). Stir until completely dissolved.
- Incorporate the Raspberries: While the tea is still warm, add in the fresh raspberries. Lightly muddle them with a spoon to release their juices.
- Cool It Down: Transfer the tea mixture to a pitcher and refrigerate it until chilled—about 60-120 minutes.
- Add Lemon Juice: Once chilled, stir in the fresh lemon juice. Taste and adjust.
- Serve: Pour the Raspberry Iced Tea over ice and garnish with mint leaves and a few whole raspberries. Cheers!
