Ingredients

• 4 cups Water
• 3 Black tea bags
• 1 cup Fresh raspberries
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 1 Lime (sliced for garnish)
• 2 cups Ice cubes
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, add the black tea bags and let them steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags and set the tea aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate small saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the raspberry mixture from the heat and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing gently to extract the juice. Discard the seeds and pulp.

Step 5

In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, raspberry syrup, and lime juice. Stir well to mix.

Step 6

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the raspberry lime iced tea over the ice.

Step 7

Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a sprig of fresh mint, if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!
