Ingredients
½cupfresh strawberries
½cupfresh raspberries
3sprigs fresh mint + more for garnish
1cupcold water
4cupsstrongly brewed green tea, cooled
3tablespoonshoney
ice cubes
Instructions
Wash and dry strawberries, raspberries and mint and transfer to a large blender (I use a Vitamix). Pour in water plus tea and 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.
