How To Make Blueberry Lemon Iced Tea With Recipe & Directions

Ingredients

This recipe only calls for four primary ingredients to make your blueberry iced tea with a few extras for garnish.

Simple, delicious, and refreshing.

Tea Bags
Use any kind of tea that you like. Green, black, white, herbal, any kind will do. If you don’t want your kids to have a lot of caffeine, be sure to check the label for a caffeine-free sticker on the box. Otherwise, you may end up with a spontaneous, caffeinated all-nighter with your kiddos.

Naturipe® Blueberries
Use fresh blueberries instead of frozen ones for a stronger flavor in your tea. The ice from frozen blueberries can dilute the flavor. Naturipe® has high-quality, fresh, and flavorful blueberries.

Honey
Naturally sweet honey is always tasty in hot tea. Add it while your tea is warm so it easily dissolves and mixes with your iced tea. If you add it after the tea is cooled, it may separate, sink to the bottom, and not properly mix.

Lemon Juice
Acidity, like lemon juice, balances out the bitterness of the tea and the sweetness of the honey and blueberries while brightening up the flavor. Don’t skip out on this!

Mint
Garnish your iced tea with fresh mint leaves for a cool (and cute) finish.

Fill a clear pitcher with four cups of water and let it sit in the sun for three or four hours. Then mix your tea with the blueberry mixture, and chill it in the fridge. If the tea sits out longer than four hours, the heat can cause bacteria to grow in your blueberry iced tea base. To prevent this, wait to add any sweetener, like the blueberry mixture, until after your tea is done steeping, and never brew your sun tea for more than five hours.

Sun tea may turn out to be your preferred steeping method because it has a fresh, less bitter taste and it’s simple to make. No boiling required, the sun does all of the work for you. Sun tea doesn’t reach higher than 130℉ when it sits outside as opposed to when you boil it. The lower steeping
