  • Strain the syrup and chill. Using a mesh strainer, strain out the solid fruit bits. Press with a wooden spoon to get all the syrup out. Don't pres too hard or you'll have fruit bits in your tea.
  • Brew the tea. Place the tea bags in a heat-proof pitcher. Boil 6 cups of water and pour it on top of the tea bags. Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Pour over the tea bags and allow to steep 3 minutes, then remove and discard. Pour 6 cups of cold water into the pitcher of tea.

Notes

Don’t want to make a big pitcher?  You can freeze the part of the fruit syrup and mix it with tea later.
Strawberries or blackberries would be delicious instead of raspberries.

Picking Ingredients

  • The fruit: make sure you pick the ripest raspberries and peaches. We are trying to extract the juice and flavor while we make the syrup, but we can’t add flavor that isn’t there. Ripe fruit will give you the best-tasting drink.
  • Plain sugar is all you need here. If you want to try a sugar substitute, you can! Just follow the conversation instructions for a recipe using real sugar.
  • Family-size tea bags are handy, but if you don’t have them, no problem. Just substitute nine regular (individual) tea bags. We like Luzianne, but Lipton will do in a pinch.
