Berry Black Iced Tea

July 17, 2014 by theleafycauldron

Every time I bring raspberries home from the store, they somehow get completely crushed. That means I have an extra excuse to create refreshing drinks full of fruit! It’s really easy to pull together and you can substitute frozen fruits, if you’d prefer, as you might when berries go out of season.

Berry Black Iced Tea
Makes 2 litres

1 cup fresh raspberries, crushed
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cups cold water
4 cups black tea, brewed double strength
8 strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Juice of 3 limes
Ice

In a small saucepan combine the raspberries, sugar and one cup of water and bring to a boil. Let boil for one minute and then set aside to cool. Brew the tea, double the strength you usually like and take out the tea bags after 5 minutes. Add the tea to a pitcher along with 3 cups of cold water, the raspberry syrup, the fresh berries and ice to the top of pitcher. Stir before serving and pour over ice into cups.

About

We here at The Leafy Cauldron believe food should be life affirming. We can do better! Started in 2011 as passion project to share a love of Harry Potter and vegan food, we've now branched out to focus on fun, fresh and innovative recipes that also happen to be allergy-friendly with zero compromise when it comes to taste and texture.

Dissatisfied with some common attitudes in vegan cooking, we decided to start a log of our own kitchen adventures. You’ll find fun and fresh recipes here presented in a to-the-point fashion. I promise to never, ever use the words “real food”.

If you're dealing with allergies and you're hoping to find a familiar recipe, let us know on Facebook and we'll try to help you out!
