Ingredients
Scale
- 8 cups water, divided
- 6 black tea bags
- 2 cups frozen* or fresh raspberries (8 ounces), plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- 3/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat 4 cups water to a simmer. Turn off the heat and add the tea bags. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the raspberries*, lemon juice, sugar and 4 cups water in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spatula to push the liquid through (discard the seeds; this takes a few minutes to complete).
- When the tea is steeped, remove the bags and pour it into the bowl with the raspberry water. Allow to cool until room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a pitcher and refrigerate at least 2 hours before drinking. Stores for up to 4 days.
Notes
*We prefer frozen berries because it’s much more economical and the flavor is great. Feel free to use fresh if you have them! If you’d like, save out a handful of the berries for garnishing the pitcher before blending.
