Iced Berry Green Tea
An iced green tea with muddled fresh blueberries and blackberries and a touch of honey, light and berry forward.
Muddling a handful of fresh blueberries and blackberries straight into the glass is what makes this one special; the juice stains the tea a deep purple and doubles up on the berries already in the bag. Green Tea keeps it light underneath, so it never tips into squash territory. Brew it cool, around 80C, sweeten it just a touch with honey, and you have a drink that looks as good as it tastes.
