Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tea bags black or green tea
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste

  2. In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and sugar. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

  4. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to chill.
  5. To serve, fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the raspberry iced tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.
