Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
• 4 cups brewed black tea, chilled
• 1/2 cup honey or your preferred sweetener
• 2 cups ice cubes
• Fresh cherry and lime slices for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by pitting the fresh cherries. Place them in a blender and blend until smooth to create a cherry puree.
2. In a large pitcher, combine the cherry puree, freshly squeezed lime juice, and chilled black tea.
3. Add honey or your chosen sweetener to taste. Stir until well mixed and the honey is completely dissolved.
4. Fill each glass with ice cubes and pour the cherry lime tea over the ice.
5. Garnish with fresh cherry and lime slices to add a beautiful, vibrant touch.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup for a different flavor profile or to make it vegan.
• For an extra refreshing twist, consider adding a few fresh mint leaves to each glass.
• Chill your glasses beforehand for an even cooler experience.

Storage and Substitutions

• Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• If cherries are out of season, use frozen cherries instead. Simply thaw them before blending.
• If limes are unavailable, substitute with lemon juice for a slightly different but equally delicious citrus flavor.

Pairings and Complements

• Pair this Cherry Lime Tea with a light, fresh salad or a plate of fruit for a refreshing combination.
• Savory snacks like bruschetta or crostini complement the sweet and tangy flavors of this drink beautifully.
• For a sweet treat, enjoy this tea alongside a slice of tangy lemon or lime tart.
