Tips:

  • Make a simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. This syrup will help to sweeten your iced tea and make it more flavorful. You can also use honey or another sweetener if you prefer.
  • Let the tea steep: The longer you let the tea steep, the stronger the flavor will be. For a light flavor, steep the tea for 3-5 minutes. For a stronger flavor, steep the tea for 5-7 minutes.
  • Chill the tea before serving: Once the tea has steeped, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will make the tea more refreshing.
  • Garnish with fresh berries: When you serve the iced tea, garnish it with fresh cranberries and raspberries. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
