1
Steep the Tea
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add the 4 Blue Raspberry herbal tea bags. Let them steep for about 5-7 minutes.
2
Sweeten the Tea
After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 2 tablespoons of honey or sugar until dissolved. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.

3
Juice the Lemons
While the tea is chilling, juice 2 fresh lemons into a measuring cup, ensuring to remove any seeds.
4
Mix the Lemonade
In a pitcher, combine the lemon juice with 2 cups of water and 3 tablespoons of honey or sugar. Stir well until the sweetener is completely dissolved.

5
Mix Iced Tea and Lemonade
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled Blue Raspberry iced tea with the lemonade. Stir gently to combine.
6
Serve
Fill glasses with ice and pour the Violet Iced Tea-Lemonade over the ice. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a few fresh mint leaves.
