Refreshing Raspberry Tea Beverage Recipe Video
Ingredients
6 cups tea, medium strength—made for regular iced tea. (I have a video on making iced tea, if you need to refer to it in making your tea.)
1 teaspoon raspberry sugar-free drink powder, or as much as desired (I used ½ inner packet of Crystal Light drink mix, which has artificial sweetener, but it will probably not be sweet enough, if you like your tea sweet. If you use sugared drink mix, you will need to adjust the amount, to get the desired amount of raspberry flavor, but not too much sugar.)
ice cubes
sugar or artificial sweetener, to taste
Fruit or fresh mint leaf for garnish (I used ½ pineapple slice and a maraschino cherry.)
Directions
Measure 6 cups of freshly made tea into a large measuring cup. Add 1 teaspoon raspberry-flavored sugar-free drink mix. Stir with a large spoon, until drink mix is dissolved. Pour the raspberry tea into a serving pitcher. (I like to mix the tea and drink mix in a measuring cup and then pour it in a pitcher, because there is usually some sediment left from the drink powder.) Fill a glass with ice cubes and sprinkle the top with sugar or artificial sweetener, if desired. Pour your Refreshing Raspberry Tea over the ice cubes and stir slightly with a straw. Garnish the top with a half-slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry (or other fruit, as desired). Serve! This Refreshing Raspberry Tea makes a gorgeous, red-tinged addition to your meal, and it is bursting with flavor! I hope you enjoy it! It's great to be back in bettyskitchen—I missed all of you!!! Love, Betty
