Description
A cozy, antioxidant-rich tea made from simmered mixed berries and fresh ginger, sweetened naturally with honey and steeped with herbal tea bags for a vibrant, comforting sip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 4 cups water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 2 herbal tea bags (hibiscus or berry blend)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Get your saucepan ready and place a fine mesh strainer and serving mugs nearby.
- In the saucepan, combine frozen berries, sliced ginger, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once it simmers, lower the heat and let it bubble gently for 8 to 10 minutes to extract flavors.
- Remove from heat and add the tea bags. Let steep for 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in honey or maple syrup and lemon juice, if using. Taste and adjust as needed.
- Strain the tea to remove solids, then pour into your teapot or cups.
- Serve hot or let cool and pour over ice for a chilled version.
Notes
- Use filtered water for a cleaner flavor.
- Add mint for an extra refreshing touch.
- Let it chill completely before refrigerating for a clearer iced tea.
