"This came from the Driscoll website and it sounds great. Fresh mint and blackberries."

• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 2 qts
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 5 black tea bags
• 1⁄4 cup mint leaf
• 4 cups boiling water
• 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 (6 ounce) package blackberries, reserve a few for garnish

directions

1. Place tea bags and mint in a heat proof pitcher. Add boiling water and steep at least 10 minutes. At my house we would just heat the water in a pan then add the tea and mint, then stir.
2. Strain into a 2 qt pitcher and discard mint and tea bags.
3. Puree blackberries in a blender or food processor, strain through a fine sieve. Discard pulp and seeds. Stir puree into tea, fill to 2 qts. Taste and adjust sugar as desired. Chill.
4. Serve over ice and garnish with a mint leaf and some blackberries.
5. I would probably skip the food processor step and push the berries through the sieve.
