Cranberry Raspberry Green Tea Spritzer

This recipe comes from the June 2009 Best Recipes cookbooklet, Summer Salads & Sandwiches. Preparation time includes neither the time needed for the brewed tea to cool nor the time needed for the fruity tea to chill.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 3  cups boiling water
• 6  tea bags (I prefer green tea)
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1  cup  cranberry-raspberry juice, chilled
• 1  cup  club soda, chilled

Directions

1. Pour boiling water over tea bags, then cover & brew for 5 minutes. Remove & squeeze the tea bags over the brewed tea, then pour into a large pitcher, stir in the sugar, & set aside to cool.
2. When cooled, add fruit juice to the tea, & stir to combine. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.
3. When ready to serve, add club soda & pour into ice-filled glasses.
