Raspberry Mint Tea

I noticed that the mint plant that I hijacked got from my friend’s yard is really taking off and wondered…hmmm…what can I do with all this mint??? Tea, of course! And perfect…I’ve got raspberries in the freezer.

Raspberry Mint Tea

Simple and delightful!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Servings - 1 gallon

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup frozen or fresh raspberries
  • 8 mint leaves
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 gallon tea

Instructions

  • In saucepan, add fresh or frozen raspberries, mint leaves, sugar and water.
  • Cook over medium heat until sugar and raspberries reduce down to a “sauce.” Mash raspberries with potato masher. (You could blend/puree, but that seemed too messy!)
  • Strain sauce to keep too many seeds from getting in the tea and to remove the mint leaves.
  • Raspberry Mint Syrup…(Some of the seeds escaped into the pitcher!)
  • Brew 1 gallon of tea as directed on package. Add to the pitcher with the raspberry mint syrup. Stir thoroughly.
