Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 pieces Black tea bags
- 2 tablespoons Honey or sugar (optional)
- 1 cup Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
- Fresh mint sprigs and raspberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized saucepan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh raspberries and mint leaves to the saucepan.
Simmer for 3-4 minutes, gently mashing the raspberries with the back of a spoon to release their juices.
Add the black tea bags to the saucepan and remove the pan from the heat. Let it steep for 5 minutes.
Strain the tea mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large heatproof pitcher, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
If desired, stir in honey or sugar to sweeten the tea. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
Let the tea cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it until chilled if serving cold.
Serve the raspberry mint tea over ice cubes if preferred. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a few raspberries for a decorative touch.
