Raspberry Ice Tea

Who likes Raspberry Ice Tea? I sure do. When I was younger and would go to restaurants with family, my drink of choice was always raspberry ice tea.

My daughter likes those Arizona Ice Teas that cost $1 at most. I personally do not like them because if you pay attention to the taste it has this after taste that I don’t like. And sometimes they have them on sale for 2 for a $1, when my husband sees that sale he stocks up and I just roll my eyes.

I knew I had to come up with a healthier version of the Raspberry Ice Tea. It’s berry season and what a great time to experiment since berries are inexpensive at the moment. I was quite impressed with how good this ice tea comes out. It’s delicious and so easy to make, my kids liked it so that means it’s a winner at this household. But I will admit, don’t think it will stop my husband from buying Arizona Ice Tea when there on sale.

Let’s start making ice tea

1. First I like to make my simple syrup here is where you can find the recipe Delicious Mixed Berry Lemonade.
2. Wash a cup of raspberries, place in a blender, and blend until smooth.
3. Strain the mixture to remove seeds.
4. In a half-gallon jar brew 8 bags of black tea according to package (or any kind of tea of your choice).
5. Once the tea has cooled add 1/4 cup of raspberry mixture and 1/2 cup simple syrup.
6. You can add more of the raspberry mixture or simple syrup to your liking.
7. Mix well, pour over ice and enjoy.
