Berry Iced Tea Recipes

BERRY ICED TEA RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse berries, then place in a medium sized pan with the sugar and water. Cook over medium high heat until it comes to a boil. Once boiling, turn down the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Over a heatproof bowl or large mason jar, strain the syrup using a fine mesh sieve. Discard the solids and reserve the syrup for the tea.
• Rinse out the pan, then add 4 cups of water to it and set it on the stove to boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Let the tea steep for 15 minutes.
• Remove the tea bags, squeezing out any excess liquid, then add the baking soda.
• Place the remaining 4 cups of water in a large pitcher, then add the syrup and tea. Stir to combine, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

VERY BERRY ICED TEA

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tea bags to a heatproof container and pour over the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes, then remove the bags.
• Meanwhile, put the jelly in a small pot set over medium-high heat. Add the cranberry juice and stir to combine. Bring the berry mixture to a simmer and cook until the jelly is dissolved, about 4 minutes.
• Strain the berry mixture through a sieve into the tea container (discard any seeds/pulp). Add 6 cups ice cubes to the berry tea and stir to combine. Once cooled, keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
• To serve, place ice cubes into 8 tall glasses. Add raspberries to each glass. Pour the tea over the ice and berries.
