1
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Steep Tea
Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat. Add 4 black tea bags and let them steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Sweeten Tea
Remove the tea bags and stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar until dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

4
Blend Blackberries
In a blender, combine 1 cup of fresh blackberries and 1 cup of water. Blend until smooth.
5
Strain Mixture
Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain the blackberry mixture into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the strained blackberry juice and mix well.

Mix Ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled tea base and the blackberry mixture. Stir well to combine.
