Serving Size 4

Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries
  • 3 sprigs fresh mint + more for garnish
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 cups strongly brewed green tea, cooled
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ice cubes

Instructions

  • Wash and dry strawberries, raspberries and mint and transfer to a large blender (I use a Vitamix). Pour in water and tea/honey mixture. Blend on high until smooth. (For smaller blenders, pour the tea to the fill line, blend, then stir in the remaining liquid after you transfer it to the pitcher.)
  • Pour through a strainer into a pitcher or large jar. Chill in fridge for at least one hour.
  • Before serving, give it a quick stir as there may be some settling. Pour over ice and garnish with fresh mint.

Notes

  • Select a green tea variety or blend that's lower in caffeine if you're serving to kids or want to cut back. For caffeine-free alternatives, try green rooibos or lemon balm tea.
  • Use organic fresh produce when available.
  • For the honey, I like to use organic wildflower but you can play around with different flavours.
