Berry Iced Tea Recipe

With summer fast approaching, there is nothing I love more than laying in the sun with a good book, whilst sipping iced tea. Here is a quick and simple recipe for a mixed berry iced tea which is absolutely delicious!





Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, black currants)

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 6 cups tea, brewed (hot)
  •  
     

    Method:

    1. Simmer berries with 3/4 cup water and sugar until berries break apart.
    2. Add hot tea; steep until cool. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve, pressing only lightly on the solids to keep the liquid clear.
    3. Serve in a tall glass with ice cubes.
     
    This recipe is to serve 6, but you can easily adjust itfor smaller or larger portions. Usually, if I am making it just for me, I just guess the amounts of berries and sugar to use :)
