A MOST EXCELLENT RASPBERRY ICED TEA
I heard a lot about Raspberry Iced Tea during ZWT6. When the dust settled, I went in search. While they all look great, I only have loose tea and Earl Grey bagged to take to work. So I started experimenting (uh oh). I used green tea because I thought that black tea would overpower the delicate raspberries. If anyone makes this with black tea, please leave a comment as to which one & how it turned out! Despite the addition of sugar, this is not a sweet tea. I listed OTHER ADDITIONS because I thought of many other flavors I could add - not necessarily all at once - but haven't gotten around to actually doing it. 'Cooking time' is cooling/steeping time. I hope you enjoy!

RASPBERRY ICED TEA
I never thought that I would enjoy fruit teas as much as do until I had a glass of raspberry iced tea. Refreshing and delicious. I tried several ways and then this way. The blend is not too strong or weak, and not too sweet. Although if you want to you could add more sugar if you like.

Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and will give your tea a beautiful color. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Use a good quality black tea. The type of black tea you use will affect the flavor of your tea. A strong black tea, like Assam or Ceylon, will give your tea a bold flavor. A lighter black tea, like Darjeeling or Earl Grey, will give your tea a more delicate flavor.
- Sweeten your tea to taste. Some people like their iced tea sweet, while others prefer it unsweetened. If you like your tea sweet, you can add sugar, honey, or another sweetener to taste.
- Garnish your tea with fresh raspberries and mint. This will give your tea a beautiful presentation and add a refreshing flavor.
