A naturally sweet, fruity iced tea made with real blueberries and your favorite tea base. Perfect for cooling off in style.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 black or green tea bags (or 2 tbsp loose-leaf tea)
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 2–3 tbsp honey or sugar (optional)
  • Juice of ½ lemon (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint leaves or lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil 2 cups of water and steep your tea for 3–5 minutes (black) or 2–3 minutes (green).

  2. While tea steeps, simmer blueberries with ½ cup water in a small pot for 5–7 minutes until soft and juicy.

  3. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine sieve or cheesecloth into a large pitcher.

  4. Add the steeped tea to the pitcher.

  5. Stir in sweetener (if using) and lemon juice.

  6. Add the remaining 2 cups cold water and stir.

  7. Refrigerate until chilled (at least 1 hour).

  8. Serve over ice with mint or lemon slices. Sip and smile. 😌

Notes

  • Want a stronger blueberry taste? Simmer more berries and reduce water slightly.

  • Avoid bitterness by not oversteeping your tea.

  • Store in the fridge up to 4 days (but let’s be real, it won’t last that long).

  • For a fizzy version, replace half the cold water with sparkling water right before serving.
