Let’s dive into creating this tantalizing blend of aromas and tastes!

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of water
• 4 tsp of loose-leaf tea (black tea or green tea)
• 1 cup of mixed fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries)
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 lemon, sliced
• 4-6 fresh mint leaves
• Honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Boil the Water: Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
2. Steep the Tea: Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat and add the loose leaf tea to the saucepan. Allow the tea to steep for about 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred strength. Remove the tea bags and discard them.
3. Prepare the Fruits: While the tea is steeping, prepare the mixed berries, orange slices, and lemon slices. Rinse the berries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, add the mixed berries, orange slices, lemon slices, and fresh mint leaves.
5. Pour the Tea: Carefully pour the freshly brewed tea into the pitcher over the fruit and mint leaves. Use a spoon to gently press down on the fruit to release their juices and flavors.
6. Sweeten (Optional): If desired, add honey or sugar to sweeten the tea. Start with 2-3 tablespoons and adjust according to your taste preference. Stir well to dissolve the sweetener.
7. Chill: Allow the Spring Fruity Tea to cool to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tea to become refreshingly cold.
8. Serve: Let the tea chill and then pour it over the ice in tall glasses. Garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon, if desired.
9. Enjoy: Sip and savor the refreshing goodness of this Spring Fruity Tea! It’s perfect for sipping on a sunny afternoon or as a delightful accompaniment to brunch or afternoon tea parties.
10. Storage: Any leftover tea can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again.

Indulge in the vibrant flavors of spring with this delightful Spring Fruity Tea recipe. Cheers to a season filled with freshness and rejuvenation!
