Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Water
- 4 pieces Black tea bags
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.33 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the tea bags.
While the tea is steeping, combine the raspberries and 1 cup of water in a separate small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, using a spoon to mash the raspberries as they soften. Simmer for 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
Strain the raspberry mixture using a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Stir the raspberry liquid and honey into the steeped tea until the honey is fully dissolved.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then stir in the lemon juice.
Fill a large pitcher with the ice cubes and pour the raspberry honey tea over the ice.
Serve immediately in glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired.
