Berry Iced Tea is like having all your favorite berries in one cup! I love the flavor of juicy and sweet blackberries, but I can’t stand the crunch from its seeds, therefore when I buy blackberries a huge amount of it goes into making berry iced tea.

Sweet Berry Iced Tea

You might feel that the amount of sugar used in this berry iced tea is a lot, but the idea from having iced tea is to fill your glass with ice so the berry iced tea will get diluted a little and you won’t be consuming a lot of sugar. The berries you have might be all sweet, but some might be a little sour, depending on the amount of sweetness the berries have to play a rule in how much sugar you might want to use or omit.

    I thought this tea was fabulous. My only suggestions wld be to add lemon juice to your liking and the same for the sugar. I made this according to the recipe less the 1/4 c of sugar and it was delicious. I also made a second batch and added it to a pitcher of fresh green tea…outstanding both ways
