Method

Prepare Tea Base

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea Bags

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea.

  3. 3

    Sweeten the Tea

    After steeping, remove the tea bags and stir in 1 cup of sugar until completely dissolved. Let the tea cool to room temperature.

Add Flavors

  1. 4

    Prepare Fruits

    While the tea is cooling, prepare the flavored additions. Slice 1 cup of peaches and 1 cup of strawberries. If using fresh raspberries, blend 1 cup to create a puree.

  2. 5

    Mix in Flavors

    Once the tea has cooled, add the peach slices, sliced strawberries, and raspberry puree to the tea. Stir well to combine.

Serve

  1. 6

    Chill or Serve Immediately

    You can either chill the tea in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or serve it immediately over ice.
