Ingredients

4 family sized tea bags
1 gallon water
1 cup water
3 cups sugar (divided)
12 ounces frozen blackberries
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

Add 1 gallon of water to a tea kettle or sauce pan. Heat to almost boiling. Add 1 cup sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat and add tea bags. Cover and steep for 1 hour.
While waiting for the tea to steep add frozen blackberries to a sauce pan. Add 1 cup water, 2 cups sugar and the lime juice. Bring to a boil (approx 5 minutes). Using a fork mash berries. Don't strain berries.
Once tea has finished steeping pour into tea pitcher. Add tea to 24 oz glass to almost the top of the glass. Pour tea and add 3 tablespoons of the blackberry syrup. Stir well. Serve with a straw for best results.

Tips:

Choose ripe, sweet blackberries: This will ensure that your sun tea is flavorful and refreshing.
Use filtered or spring water: This will help to create a clean, crisp taste.
Steep the tea for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer you steep the tea, the more flavor it will have.
Store the tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days: Sun tea is best when enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days if needed.
Serve the tea over ice, or with a splash of lemonade or fruit juice: This will help to brighten up the flavor of the tea and make it even more refreshing.
