This bright and refreshing iced tea uses Oaktown Spice Shop’s Clear Mind Mint Tea, which pairs beautifully with the tangy sweetness of the raspberries. If you do not have Oaktown’s tea blend, you can make your own by combining Rooibos and your favorite mint tea.
Makes: 32oz (4 cups)
Season: Summer
“Fun Fact” / Tips & Tricks: “Shocking” the concentrated hot tea with ice cubes eliminates the need to wait for the tea to cool, which means you get to enjoy your refreshing iced tea sooner!
Ingredients
2 tbsp Clear Mind Mint Tea
2 1/2 cups water, divided
4 cups ice
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
In a medium sauce pot combine the loose tea leaves and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, and once boiling remove from heat and let sit for 2-3 minutes. Add the 4 cups of ice and stir, then strain into a large pitcher using a fine mesh sieve.
Using a blender, food processor or immersion blender, combine the raspberries, 1/2 cup water and maple syrup (if using) and blend until smooth. Strain the raspberry mixture through the fine mesh sieve into the cooled iced tea and mix to combine. Serve over ice and enjoy!
