Ingredients
6 quarts water
2 & 1/4 cups sugar
1 package (600g) frozen unsweetened raspberries (which I have substituted blueberries and strawberries to change the flavour of the tea.)
15 individual tea bags
1/8 cup lemon juice
Directions In a large kettle or Dutch oven, bring water and sugar to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the raspberries, tea bags and lemon juice. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Strain; discard berries and tea bags. Transfer tea to a large container or pitcher. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice.
Of the 3 flavours I've tried so far (Raspberry, Blueberry, and Strawberry), The consensus thus far is that the Strawberry is the best. Strawberry takes a little mashing to get the water fully flavoured, but if you let them boil a little it's nothing to mash them up. Give it a quick taste after the sugar and berries have steeped for a few minutes, and if it's not strong enough just leave them in longer, or mash them up a bit more.
