Blackberry Tea

Blackberry iced tea is really easy to make.  The flavor is great and using real fruit has to give you some extra health benefits. 


Ingredients:
4 cups of hot black tea (such as orange pekoe or Darjeeling)
1 cup of blackberries
honey to taste or 3/4 cup of sugar

  • In a bowl combine the hot tea with the blackberries and let steep for an hour.
  • With the back of a wooden spoon, crush the berries in the tea and then pour through a fine strainer into a pitcher.  I crushed mine again in the strainer.
  • Add honey to taste or use sugar.
  • I then pour this warm tea over a half of pitcher of ice.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours and serve.
Yield: 4-5 servings

 Enjoy!
