A Most Excellent Raspberry Iced Tea image

I heard a lot about Raspberry Iced Tea during ZWT6. When the dust settled, I went in search. While they all look great, I only have loose tea and Earl Grey bagged to take to work. So I started experimenting (uh oh). I used green tea because I thought that black tea would overpower the delicate raspberries. If anyone makes this with black tea, please leave a comment as to which one & how it turned out! Despite the addition of sugar, this is not a sweet tea. I listed OTHER ADDITIONS because I thought of many other flavors I could add - not necessarily all at once - but haven't gotten around to actually doing it. 'Cooking time' is cooling/steeping time. I hope you enjoy!

Time 4h10m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 quarts cold water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup loose green tea leaves
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 limes or 1 lemon, sliced thinly
1 vanilla bean, halved & scraped
1 tablespoon peppercorn
1 tablespoon allspice berry
1 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • In a 4qt pot, combine water & sugar. This is the time to add a vanilla bean or your whole spice of choice. Bring to a boil.
  • Turn off heat & add tea leaves. Cover & let stand to steep & cool an hour or so.
  • When somewhat cooled, add fresh raspberries. Continue to let steep/cool a couple more hours.
  • Mash raspberries to be sure all juice is extracted. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, pushing on solids to get all the liquid, into a 2qt. pitcher. Add lemon or lime slices, if desired.
  • Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
