Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces black tea bags (or green tea bags for a lighter flavor)
- 4 cups boiling water
- 3 tablespoons honey (or any preferred sweetener)
- 1 whole orange, sliced
- 1 whole lemon, sliced
- 1 whole lime, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
- 1 whole apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 2 cups sparkling water (plain or lightly flavored)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
Boil 4 cups of water and pour it into a heatproof bowl or pitcher.
Add the tea bags to the boiling water and let them steep for 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
While the tea cools, prepare the fruit by slicing the orange, lemon, lime, and apple. Hull and halve the strawberries, and halve the grapes.
Once the tea has cooled, stir in the honey (or your preferred sweetener), making sure it dissolves completely.
In a large pitcher, combine the prepared fruit slices, berries, and grapes. Pour the cooled tea over the fruit.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours to let the flavors meld together. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, pour the chilled mixture into glasses filled with ice cubes, leaving room at the top.
Top each glass with sparkling water for a fizzy finish, and gently stir.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional slices of citrus or a sprig of mint if desired.
