Description
A refreshing summer drink made with black tea, fresh peaches, and raspberries, perfect for hot days.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 4 black tea bags
- 1 cup fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups cold water
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the black tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags and let the tea cool to room temperature.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, and sugar. Blend until smooth. If desired, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp.
- In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea, fruit puree, and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well to combine.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
- Chill the iced tea in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Serve over ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- For a sparkling version, replace cold water with sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
- Try adding a splash of lemon juice for a citrusy kick or substitute other berries like strawberries or blueberries for different flavors.
