Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces black tea bags
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 0.5 cup fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups sparkling water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 0.25 cup extra raspberries (for garnish)
- 10 pieces extra mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and steep 4 black tea bags for 5 minutes.
While the tea steeps, combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries, 0.5 cups of fresh mint leaves, and 0.25 cups of granulated sugar in a separate bowl. Muddle the mixture using a muddler or the back of a spoon until the raspberries are mashed and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Remove the tea bags from the saucepan and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
Strain the muddled raspberry-mint mixture through a fine mesh sieve into the tea, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
Refrigerate the raspberry mint tea for 1 hour or until chilled.
To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea to fill the glass about three-quarters of the way.
Top each glass with sparkling water for a fizzy finish.
Garnish with extra raspberries and mint leaves for added flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Raspberry Mint Iced Tea Hic Up!
