Ingredients

  • 4 cups (1 liter) water
  • 2 tablespoon sugar (optional) or honey or other sweetener
  • 1 inch piece of ginger (peeled and cut into five slices)
  • 3 tablespoons of loose berry tea (or 3 tea bags; I used We Are Tea Super Berry)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
To serve
  • 10 raspberries
  • 10 blueberries
  • 5 strawberries halved
  • 15 mint leaves
  • ½ a lemon thinly sliced
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring the water to a boil, add the sugar and ginger and stir until the sugar dissolves. 
  2. Remove from the heat, add the tea and allow to steep for 5 minutes. 
  3. Strain out the leaves and ginger over a bowl and allow the liquid to cool and stir in the lemon juice. 
  4. Taste for sweetness. If you’d like it sweeter, dissolve a little sugar in hot water and add to the tea. If you’d like it more tart, add a little more lemon juice.
  5. Add the ice to a large jug or into glasses, along with the fruit and mint leaves lightly crushed to release their flavour. Pour in the cooled tea and serve chilled.
