Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 3 Black tea bags
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Lime juice
- 1 Lime (sliced for garnish)
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the black tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and set the tea aside to cool slightly.
In a separate small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
Remove the raspberry mixture from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract the juice. Discard the seeds and pulp.
In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, raspberry syrup, and lime juice. Stir well to mix.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the raspberry lime iced tea over the ice.
Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
