There’s nothing better than a cold glass of homemade raspberry mint iced tea! Ingredients: Raspberries Lemons Mint leaves Black tea bags Granulated sugar Water Instructions: Thoroughly rinse about 12 ounces of raspberries under cold running water to remove any dirt or residue. In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of raspberries, 1½ cups of granulated sugar, and 2 cups of water. If you prefer a sweeter raspberry syrup, add an additional ½ cup of granulated sugar. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook until the raspberries begin to break down and release their juices. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and carefully pour the raspberry mixture through it. Press the raspberries gently with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible, then discard the solids. Allow the raspberry syrup to cool completely. Meanwhile, bring 6 cups of water to a gentle boil. Turn off the heat, add 6 black tea bags, and let the tea steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove and discard the tea bags, then allow the tea to cool completely. Fill a large pitcher with ice, sliced lemons, fresh raspberries, and a few lightly crushed mint leaves. Pour in the cooled black tea, followed by the raspberry syrup, and stir well until everything is fully combined. Pour the raspberry mint iced tea into glasses, garnish with fresh raspberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves, and serve immediately. I hope you enjoy this refreshing drink and follow for more! #foryoupage #raspberry #icedtea #easyrecipe #summerdrink
