Summer is here, and you know what that means: cookouts, lake days, and refreshing drinks! If you're looking for a delightful, non-alcoholic beverage to spice up your summer gatherings, I've got just the thing for you—a Mixed Berry Tea Fizz using our exquisite Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea. Trust me, this drink is the perfect blend of fruity, floral, and fresh, making it an instant hit for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup fresh blackberries (or any berry)
- A few fresh mint leaves
- 1 lime wedge
- 8 oz Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea, cold brewed
- 2 oz club soda
- Ice
Instructions:
- Prepare the berries: Add 1/4 cup of fresh blackberries (or your berry of choice) to your glass. For extra flavor, lightly muddle the berries.
- Add mint: Place a few fresh mint leaves in the glass. Gently clap the leaves between your hands before adding them to release their essential oils.
- Squeeze lime: Squeeze a lime wedge into the glass for a tangy kick. Drop the wedge in for extra citrus flavor.
- Add tea: Pour 8 ounces of cold-brewed Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea over the berry and mint mixture.
- Add club soda: Pour 2 ounces of club soda into the glass for a fizzy finish.
- Ice it up: Add ice to keep your drink chilled. Give it a quick stir.
To start, gather up some fresh blackberries or your berry of choice. The burst of berry flavor pairs beautifully with the subtle sweetness of the tea. Toss about a quarter cup of these juicy gems into your glass. Not only do they add a nice pop of color, but they also infuse the drink with a natural sweetness that’s hard to resist. If you’re feeling fancy, you can even muddle the berries a bit to release their juices.
Next, add a few fresh mint leaves. Mint is like the ultimate summer herb—it’s cooling and refreshing, perfect for hot days spent lounging by the lake or flipping burgers on the grill. Plus, it gives the mocktail a touch of sophistication and a wonderful aroma that’ll have everyone asking for the recipe. Give the mint a gentle clap between your hands before adding it to your glass to release its essential oils.
Now, squeeze a lime wedge into the mix. Lime adds a tangy kick that perfectly balances the sweetness of the berries and the floral notes of the tea. It’s like a little zing that dances on your taste buds, making each sip more exciting than the last. Don’t forget to drop the wedge into the glass for that extra burst of citrus flavor and a bit of rustic charm.
Finally, it’s time for the star of the show—the Strawberry Honeysuckle White Tea. Brewed cold, this tea is light, refreshing, and just sweet enough without being overpowering. Pour 8 ounces over your berry and mint mixture, then top it all off with 2 ounces of club soda for a fizzy finish. Add some ice to keep everything chill, give it a quick stir, and voilà! You’ve got a drink that not only looks beautiful but tastes like summer in a glass.
So next time you’re planning a summer cookout or a lazy day by the lake, whip up this Mixed Berry Tea Fizz. It’s a crowd-pleaser for sure—refreshing, delicious, and oh-so-easy to make. Cheers to sunshine, good company, and a summer full of unforgettable moments!
