Instructions for Making this Recipe

Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.

Brew the Tea

Brew a pot (6-8 cups) of your favorite black tea. Steep tea for 3 minutes.

Lipton bags (not instant) works well, or if you enjoy loose leaf teas, may I suggest Yunan Golden Special, English Breakfast, Orange Pekoe Ceylon or Assam Mangalam, all from Tealyra.

Prepare the Raspberry Mixture

Meanwhile, pour two cups of water in a small saucepan. Add 1 cup of fresh raspberries and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 8-10 minutes. Allow each to cool and pour both tea and strained raspberry mixture into a large carafe.

You’ll want to strain the raspberry syrup with a fine-mesh strainer so that you don’t have seeds in your drink. Simply hold the strainer over the carafe as you pour it into the tea. 

Add in mint leaves and stir to combine. With a muddler or long handled wooden spoon, gently press on the mint leaves and twisting to bring out the oils and herbal essence.

Serve Cookies and Raspberry Mint Tea for an Afternoon Snack

When ready to serve, pour into clear glasses filled with ice cubes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and raspberries. This recipe will serve 4-6 people.
