Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• 4 cups brewed green tea, cooled
• 1/4 cup elderflower cordial
• 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
• Juice of 1 lemon
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a blender, add the raspberries and a splash of the cooled green tea. Blend until smooth, enjoying the vibrant burst of color and the tart aroma of the raspberries.
2. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove the seeds, ensuring a smooth and velvety texture.
3. Add the remaining green tea, elderflower cordial, honey, and lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir well to combine, letting the floral sweetness and citrusy tang meld beautifully.
4. Serve the tea over ice in tall glasses, garnished with fresh mint leaves if desired. Savor the fragrant bouquet and the cooling refreshment with each sip.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If elderflower cordial is unavailable, you can substitute it with a light floral syrup or extra honey for sweetness.
• Add a handful of whole raspberries and a slice of lemon to each glass for a visually appealing presentation.
• For a sparkling version, top up each glass with a splash of soda water just before serving.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain its freshness. If you need a substitution for green tea, feel free to use white tea or a mild herbal blend.

Pairings and Complements

Raspberry Elderflower Tea pairs splendidly with light snacks such as cucumber sandwiches, scones with clotted cream, or a fresh berry tart. It’s also a wonderful accompaniment to a picnic spread, featuring a mix of delicate finger foods and sweet treats.
