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

1. Place tea bags and mint in a heat proof pitcher.
2. Add boiling water and steep at least 10 minutes.
3. At my house we would just heat the water in a pan then add the tea and mint, then stir.
4. Strain into a 2 qt pitcher and discard mint and tea bags.
5. Puree blackberries in a blender or food processor, strain through a fine sieve.
6. Discard pulp and seeds.
7. Stir puree into tea, fill to 2 qts.
8. Taste and adjust sugar as desired.
9. Chill.
10. Serve over ice and garnish with a mint leaf and some blackberries.
11. I would probably skip the food processor step and push the berries through the sieve.
