Blackberry Iced Tea

Red Kettle Cook

What a thirst quencher on a hot day! This is an Instapot recipe & that means it’s made much faster than traditional iced tea. That’s a win-win for you!

Blackberry Iced Tea Free Recipe from RedKettleCook.com!

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 8 c. water
  • 6 black tea bags (preferably organic), paper tags removed
  • 1 1/2 c. fresh blackberries, divided
  • 2 T. fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 c. honey (preferably local)
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 2 T. fresh lemon juice

 

Optional garnish:

  • Fresh blackberries
  • Fresh basil sprigs

 

Instructions:

  1. Add water, tea bags & a 1/2 cup blackberries to Instapot and stir to combine. Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 5 minutes.
  2. While the tea is brewing, add remaining blackberries, basil, honey & water to saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, gently pressing on the blackberries to release their juices while continually stirring the mixture to combine, for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Once honey is completely melted and the mixture starts to thicken, remove from heat and set aside.
  4. When cook time on Instapot is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
  5. Carefully strain hot tea mixture with a fine mesh strainer. Pour the reserved liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher and sweeten with the blackberry honey simple syrup, to taste. Add fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
  6. Serve immediately over ice with fresh blackberries and a sprig of fresh basil for garnish (if desired).
