Bright and colourful, this tea is intriguingly tart and fruity. Serve with lime slices or raspberry ice cubes (see “Nice Ice,” below).
Ingredients
- 4 bags black tea, (such as Darjeeling or orange pekoe)
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or thawed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Preparation
Meanwhile, in large saucepan, bring raspberries, sugar and 1 cup (250 mL) water to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring, until raspberries break up. Add to tea; let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
Strain through cheesecloth-lined sieve into pitcher, pressing solids only gently so beverage remains clear. Serve with ice cubes.
Additional information : Variation
Raspberry Iced Green Tea: Replace black tea bags with 5 green tea bags; steep for 5 minutes.
Nice Ice
Freeze fruit juice (such as lemonade, orange or pomegranate) in ice cube tray. Store in freezer bags.
Freeze fruit (such as blueberries, raspberries, citrus slices) in ice cube trays half-filled with water. Top with more water and freeze again. Store in freezer bags.
Freeze herbs (such as mint leaves and rosemary or thyme flowers) by placing leaf or sprig in ice cube trays half-filled with water. Top with more water and freeze again. Store in freezer bags.
