Blackberry Mint Iced Tea
- 5 black tea bags
- 14 cup mint leaf
- 4 cups boiling water
- 12 cup granulated sugar
- 1 (6 ounce) package blackberries, reserve a few for garnish
- Place tea bags and mint in a heat proof pitcher.
- Add boiling water and steep at least 10 minutes.
- At my house we would just heat the water in a pan then add the tea and mint, then stir.
- Strain into a 2 qt pitcher and discard mint and tea bags.
- Puree blackberries in a blender or food processor, strain through a fine sieve.
- Discard pulp and seeds.
- Stir puree into tea, fill to 2 qts.
- Taste and adjust sugar as desired.
- Chill.
- Serve over ice and garnish with a mint leaf and some blackberries.
- I would probably skip the food processor step and push the berries through the sieve.
