Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 4 Black tea bags
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Cranberry juice
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cups Ice cubes
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot.
Step 2
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for 5 minutes.
Step 3
While the tea is steeping, place the fresh raspberries in a bowl and mash them lightly using a fork or a muddler to release their juices.
Step 4
Strain the tea into a large heat-resistant pitcher to remove the tea bags. Stir in the sugar while the tea is still hot, allowing it to dissolve completely.
Step 5
Add the mashed raspberries (and their juices), cranberry juice, and lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Step 7
When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Raspberry Cranberry Iced Tea over the ice.
Step 8
Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.
