Directions

  1. Brew the White Tea
    Bring 6 cups of water to a boil.
    Remove from heat, add the white tea bags, and steep for 8–10 minutes.
    Squeeze the tea bags well, discard them, and let the tea cool completely.
  2. Blend the Raspberries
    Add the fresh raspberries to a blender with 1 cup water, lemon juice, and honey.
    Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Combine the Base
    In a large pitcher, stir together the cooled white tea and the raspberry puree until evenly combined.
  4. Cold Mint Infusion
    Add the clapped (not muddled) mint leaves to the pitcher.
    Refrigerate and let infuse for 10–15 minutes, then remove and discard the mint to prevent bitterness.
  5. Chill
    Continue chilling the tea until fully cold, about 1–2 hours.
  6. Serve
    Fill glasses with ice.
    Pour over the chilled raspberry mint iced tea and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves.

*Notes

  • Always clap mint between your hands, don’t muddle — muddling releases chlorophyll and bitterness.
  • If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing.
  • This tea keeps well refrigerated for up to 24–36 hours; flavor is best the same day.
