About this recipe
Blueberry iced tea is a chilled drink made with green tea, blueberries, honey, and ice cubes. Green tea provides a lighter, gently vegetal base, while blueberries add fruity flavor, color, and mild sweetness. Steep the tea briefly, since an overly strong brew can overpower the fruit. This recipe works well for homemade iced tea when you want something fresh, less sweet, and fruitier than regular iced tea.
Ingredients
2 green tea bags
150 g blueberries
800 ml water
1 tablespoon honey
ice cubes
Steps
Prepare 800 ml of water at the temperature recommended on the green tea package. Steep two tea bags for about 2–3 minutes unless the manufacturer recommends otherwise. Remove the bags and set the tea aside to cool.
Sort through the blueberries, rinse and drain. Reserve a few berries for serving. Lightly crush the rest with the honey so their skins split and release juice.
Combine the blueberry mixture with the cooled tea. Once cooled, refrigerate until thoroughly cold. You can prepare it ahead so the ice will not have to cool a warm infusion. Allow approximately 60–90 minutes for the whole batch to cool and chill. To speed up cooling, place the container in a cold-water bath and stir the tea before refrigerating. Serve only once the base is cold.
Stir before pouring so the fruit mixture does not stay on the bottom. Add the reserved whole blueberries and ice cubes, then serve.
