Cómo preparar Blackberry Mint Iced Tea
- Boil 8 cups of water in a large pot.
- While the water is boiling, roughly chop 1 cup of fresh mint leaves.
- In a large pitcher, add the chopped mint leaves and 4-6 black tea bags.
- Remove the boiling water from heat and gently pour it over the tea bags and mint in the pitcher.
- Stir gently, cover, and let steep for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree 2 cups of blackberries in a blender until smooth.
- Strain the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate 2-quart pitcher to remove seeds. Discard the seeds.
- Once the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags and mint leaves from the pitcher. You can gently squeeze the tea bags to extract maximum flavor.
- Add the strained blackberry puree to the tea.
- Add 1/2 cup of honey (or to taste), stirring until the honey is fully dissolved. Adjust sweetness as needed using more honey, sugar, or Splenda.
- Add cold water to the pitcher to fill it to your desired volume, stirring to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
- Serve over ice. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a few blackberries for an extra touch of elegance.
