Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 5 Black tea bags or tea of choice
- 6 oz Fresh Blackberries
- ¼ cup Fresh Mint Leaves

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.
