Ingredients
6
cups
water
5
Black tea bags
or tea of choice
6
oz
Fresh Blackberries
¼
cup
Fresh Mint Leaves
2
cups
Ice
Instructions
In a large sauce pan, bring the water to a boil.
Turn off the heat and steep the tea bags in the water for 5 minutes (10 minutes if you like stronger tea).
Cool for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a pitcher at least 2 quarts size, smash the blackberries and mint leaves with a potato masher or whisk.
When the tea is cooled, pour into the pitcher, along with 2 cups of ice.
Chill completely. The longer the tea sits, the more blackberry flavor it will have.
Strain the tea into glasses. Serve over ice, garnished with more fresh blackberries, mint leaves, and a twist of lime, if desired.
Lasts refrigerated about 4 days.
