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.

Tips for Making the Best Very Berry Iced Tea:
- Use Fresh Berries: Fresh berries provide the best flavor for this iced tea. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but thaw them before using.
- Choose a Variety of Berries: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of berries. Some popular choices include strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
- Use Loose-Leaf Tea: Loose-leaf tea will give you a more flavorful iced tea than tea bags. If you don't have loose-leaf tea, you can use tea bags, but use two tea bags per cup of water.
- Steep the Tea for at Least 5 Minutes: This will give the tea time to develop its full flavor.
- Sweeten the Tea to Taste: You can sweeten the tea with sugar, honey, or agave syrup. Add the sweetener to taste.
- Chill the Tea Thoroughly: The tea should be chilled for at least 2 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Very berry iced tea is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a delicious and healthy drink, give this very berry iced tea a try!
