Raspberry Iced Tea Recipe

INGREDIENTS

3 Black Tea Bags (like Lipton)
8 cups Water
1 cup Sugar
12 oz Raspberries

DIRECTIONS

Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a medium pot.
Remove from heat.
Add tea bags and allow to steep for 15 minutes.

Add 4 cups water to a medium pan (not the one the tea is in).
Add sugar and raspberries and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce heat to medium and squish raspberries while continuing to cook for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and strain through cheesecloth or strainer, discarding all berry pieces.

Combine both in a large pitcher and serve over ice.

End result = a cup of summer in a glass. Perfect for a hot day and increase the portions to make a large batch for a party. Check out our other iced tea recipe for more flavour options.
