BERRY ICED TEA
Steps:

- Stir in simple syrup, to taste. Squeeze orange and lime wedges into tea and add wedges. Serve tea in tall glasses. Garnish with frozen raspberries.

VERY BERRY ICED TEA
Steps:
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the tea bags to a heatproof container and pour over the boiling water. Allow the tea to steep for 5 minutes, then remove the bags.
- Meanwhile, put the jelly in a small pot set over medium-high heat. Add the cranberry juice and stir to combine. Bring the berry mixture to a simmer and cook until the jelly is dissolved, about 4 minutes.
- Strain the berry mixture through a sieve into the tea container (discard any seeds/pulp). Add 6 cups ice cubes to the berry tea and stir to combine. Once cooled, keep refrigerated in an airtight container.
- To serve, place ice cubes into 8 tall glasses. Add raspberries to each glass. Pour the tea over the ice and berries.
