How to Make Blackberry Mint Iced Tea

  1. Boil 8 cups of water in a large pot.
  2. While the water is boiling, roughly chop 1 cup of fresh mint leaves.
  3. In a large pitcher, add the chopped mint leaves and 4-6 black tea bags.
  4. Remove the boiling water from heat and gently pour it over the tea bags and mint in the pitcher.
  5. Stir gently, cover, and let steep for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, puree 2 cups of blackberries in a blender until smooth.
  7. Strain the blackberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate 2-quart pitcher to remove seeds. Discard the seeds.
  8. 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.
  9. Add the strained blackberry puree to the tea.
  10. 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.
  11. Add cold water to the pitcher to fill it to your desired volume, stirring to combine.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours to allow flavors to meld and chill thoroughly.
  13. Serve over ice. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig and a few blackberries for an extra touch of elegance.
