Ingredients
Iced Green Tea
- 4 cups cold water, divided
- 1 Luzianne® Family Size Iced Green Tea bag
- Frozen berries, for garnish
Triple Berry Syrup
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 cups fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries and chopped strawberries
Directions
- Prepare Iced Green Tea: Bring 2 cups water to a rolling boil. Gently pour water over tea bag. Steep 3-5 minutes; remove tea bag. Add 2 remaining cups water and chill.
- Prepare Triple Berry Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved (about 5-10 minutes). Turn off heat and stir in berries. Mash mixture with a fork or large spoon. Steep mixture for 1 hour. When ready, press the mixture through a strainer using a large spoon; reserve the liquid and discard the solids.*
- To serve, sweeten iced tea with syrup to taste; pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with frozen berries.
*The leftover fruit solids are delicious when layered with yogurt and granola in a parfait.
