Steps:
- Pour 4 cups boiling water over the tea bags, mint, and sugar in a pitcher. Steep for 30 minutes. Remove the tea bags, squeezing out excess liquid. Remove the mint.
- Prepare the lemonade according to the instructions and add to the tea.
- Add the pineapple juice and stir. Serve over ice.
Tips:
- Use fresh blackberries: Fresh blackberries have a more intense flavor and aroma than frozen or canned blackberries. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen or canned blackberries, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Make a simple syrup: A simple syrup is a mixture of sugar and water that is heated until the sugar dissolves. Simple syrup is used to sweeten the iced tea and make it more flavorful. To make a simple syrup, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the simple syrup cool completely.
- Use a good quality black tea: The type of black tea you use will also affect the flavor of the iced tea. Look for a black tea that is full-flavored and has a rich aroma. Some good choices include Earl Grey, Assam, and Ceylon.
- Let the tea steep for at least 4 hours: The longer the tea steeps, the more flavor it will have. If you are short on time, you can steep the tea for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Serve the iced tea over ice: Iced tea is best served over ice. This will help to keep the tea cold and refreshing.
Conclusion:
Blackberry iced tea is a delicious and refreshing beverage that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy on a hot day or a special treat to serve at a party, blackberry iced tea is a great choice.
