Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Green tea bags
- 2 cups Hot water
- 1 cup Cranberry juice (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
- 2 cups Sparkling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
- 2 pieces Lime slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Boil 2 cups of water and steep the green tea bags for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
In a blender, add the raspberries and cranberry juice. Blend until smooth.
For a clearer spritzer, strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. This step is optional.
Once the green tea has cooled, mix it with the raspberry-cranberry mixture in a large pitcher. Stir in the honey if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Add the sparkling water to the pitcher just before serving to retain the fizz. Stir gently to combine.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the spritzer over the ice.
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves and optional lime slices for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing spritzer!
