Prep Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 4 cups boiling water
  • 4 rose tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose rose tea leaves)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes, for serving
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a heatproof jug or teapot, combine the raspberries and boiling water. Allow them to steep for about 5 minutes, enjoying the aromatic blend as the water turns a rich, ruby color.
  2. Add the rose tea bags to the jug. Let the tea infuse for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. The gentle floral notes of the rose will beautifully complement the raspberries.
  3. Remove the tea bags and strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pitcher, pressing down on the raspberries to extract their juices.
  4. Sweeten your drink with honey or agave syrup, stirring until fully dissolved. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice for a bright, tangy accent that balances the sweetness.
  5. Allow the tea to cool slightly before serving over ice. The clinking of the ice cubes will add a delightful sound to the refreshing experience.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, to elevate the presentation and add a hint of herbal freshness.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For a twist, replace raspberries with strawberries, blackberries, or even a mix for an assorted berry flavor.
  • If rose tea is not available, use a plain black or green tea and add a few drops of rose water for that floral hint.
  • Serve in a tall glass for an elegant touch, perfect for family gatherings or summer parties.
  • For a special treat, top with a few whole raspberries and a slice of lemon.

Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover tea in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving again.
  • If you prefer a sugar-free option, substitute honey with your favorite sweetener or omit sweetener entirely.
  • For a caffeine-free version, use an herbal rose tea without any actual tea leaves.

Pairings and Complements:

  • Enjoy with a plate of freshly baked scones and clotted cream for a delightful tea-time experience.
  • Pair with a light salad featuring fresh berries and nuts for a summer luncheon.
  • Complement your Raspberry Rose Tea with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a light cheesecake for a sweet treat.
