Triple berry tea is a homemade blend of strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry puree that’s mixed into freshly brewed tea. It’s easy to make and incredibly refreshing!
Let it be known that I love iced tea! I drink it almost every way that I can think of , unless it is pre-sweetened or comes out of a soda dispenser at a drive-through. I know some of my friends to the south cannot fathom that I just said that I don’t like sweet tea. Let me clarify, I do not like tea to be so sweet that I feel like my teeth are rotting with every sip. I like a little sweetener…moderation is key ????
But one of my favorite ways to enjoy my iced tea is with a fruit puree. If I had taken a picture yesterday I could show you my pretty peach tea I made. Alas, the boys and I drank it before the thought occurred to me to snap a picture!
But today’s triple berry tea was made with a puree made from strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, and it was so clean and refreshing! If you are not a fan of seeds floating in your tea, make sure to strain your puree before adding your desired amount to your cooled tea base.
I like this tea, and the base of the berry mixture I make often and keep for a few days at a time. I add it to iced and hot tea, and even oatmeal. You can filter out the seeds, but I never do. I make it in a blender or Magic Bullet.
This is not a “recipe” per se, but more of a concoction I have come to rely on to spice up my tea of choice. I go back and forth between black, green and white tea. Luzianne, Lipton, Tazo and just fresh leaves that I get at a specialty store nearby. Use what you have and what you like to drink.
Like summer, this triple berry tea should be easy, breezy and refreshing!
