Iced Berry Tea Sparkler
Iced Berry Tea Sparkler
Ingredients:
- 2 tsps of Berry Bonanza
- 190g of mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 235ml of sparkling water or club soda
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
- Lemon slices for garnish
Instructions:
- Brew the Tea: Start by brewing a strong cup of Berry Bonanza tea. Steep the tea in hot water for about 5-7 minutes. Once brewed, remove the tea leaves and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the Berries: Wash and prepare the mixed berries. You can slice strawberries and leave the other berries whole. You can also mash some of the berries to release their juices, creating a more flavorful base for your mocktail.
- Sweeten the Berry Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries and honey or simple syrup. Mix well to ensure the berries are coated with the sweetener. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.
- Assemble the Mocktail: In serving glasses, add ice cubes. Spoon the sweetened berry mixture into the glasses, dividing it evenly among them.
- Add Tea and Sparkling Water: Pour the cooled brewed tea over the berry mixture in each glass. Leave some space at the top of the glass for the sparkling water. Top off each glass with sparkling water or club soda. The fizziness will give your mocktail a refreshing twist.
- Garnish and Serve: Give the mocktail a gentle stir to mix the flavours. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for an extra pop of colour and aroma.
- Enjoy: Serve your Iced Berry Tea Sparklers immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of tea, mixed berries, and sparkling water. It’s a perfect refreshing drink for any occasion!
Cheers!
