Instructions
Creating Lemon-Raspberry Infused Iced Green Tea is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
2. Brew Tea: Remove the water from heat. Add the green tea bags and let them steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.
3. Remove Tea Bags: After steeping, remove the tea bags and let the brewed tea cool to room temperature.
4. Prepare Raspberries: While the tea is cooling, rinse the raspberries under cold water. Lightly mash them in a bowl to release their juices.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, combine the brewed tea, mashed raspberries, and lemon slices.
6. Sweeten: If desired, add honey or agave syrup to the mixture, stirring well until dissolved.
7. Chill: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a clearer tea, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove solids.
9. Serve: In glasses filled with ice cubes, pour the Lemon-Raspberry Infused Iced Green Tea.
10. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with additional raspberries and fresh mint leaves. Enjoy your refreshing beverage!
