Blackberry and mint iced tea

Iced tea always reminds us of summer holidays and sunny weather, but you can easily recreate your own at home. This iced tea recipe is easy to make and super refreshing. We love to serve ours over ice with a sprig of mint and some fresh blackberries. To add your own twist, try with peaches, raspberries, or even blueberries!

Ingredients

  • 2 green tea bags
  • Handful of blackberries, plus extra to serve
  • 2-3 mint sprigs, leaves picked, plus extra to serve
  • 2 tsp sugar (to taste)
  • Ice cubes, to serve

Cooking instructions

  • Fill the kettle with water and bring it to the boil.
  • Meanwhile, add the tea bags, blackberries and mint to a heat-proof jug or container. Completely cover the ingredients with hot water then stir in the sugar.
  • Allow to steep for 15 minutes, then remove the tea bags and stir again.
  • Leave to cool, then seal and place in the fridge to chill completely. This will keep for 24 hours, or up to 5 days if you strain and remove the fresh ingredients.
  • When ready to serve, fill 2 tall glasses (or 4 small tumblers) with ice cubes, pour over the iced tea and garnish with fresh blackberries and mint sprigs.
