Hello and Happy 4th of July my Friends, welcome to my Southern Kitchen!
Sweet Tea is a beverage staple here in the South, so today I am making another Iced Tea recipe, Mixed Berry Sweet Iced Tea! Crisp, refreshing, and loaded with 3 kinds of berries - Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries! Perfect to cool you off on a hot Summer day, great to serve at BBQ Cookouts and Picnics also great to serve at your 4th of July Cookout!
Berry Syrup
1 cup fresh sliced strawberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup water
Tea Simple Syrup
4 cups water
1 cup sugar
5 small tea bags
Other Add Ins
4 cups cold water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, for garnish (optional)
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
For the Tea Simple Syrup: In a large pot or medium saucepan, add in the 4 cups water and 1 cup sugar and bring to a boil. Cook until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add in the tea bags; let it steep for 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags and let the tea cool completely.
For the Berry Syrup: In another large pot or medium saucepan, add in the fresh berries and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Using a potato masher, mash the berries a little chunky, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncover for 3 minutes. Strain and discard the berry pulp.
In a pitcher, add in the cool tea, berry syrup, lemon juice, and 4 cups water; stir until well combined (taste the tea for more sweetness to your liking). Pour the tea into mason jars, cups or glasses filled with ice, garnish with strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and mint leaves (if desired) serve and enjoy!
