✦ Raspberry & Lavender Iced Tea Recipe
Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Brew time: 10 minutes (plus cooling)
Ingredients:
- 2 heaped teaspoons of Raspberry & Lavender loose leaf tea
- 500ml freshly boiled water
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to taste)
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional, but adds brightness)
- Ice cubes
- Fresh raspberries and a sprig of lavender or mint, to garnish
Method:
- Brew the tea:
Add the loose leaf Raspberry & Lavender tea to a teapot or infuser. Pour over 500ml of freshly boiled water and allow it to steep for 10 minutes to draw out the full flavour of the fruits and flowers. - Sweeten (if desired):
If you’d like a sweeter cooler, stir in honey or agave while the tea is still warm. Adjust to taste. - Cool and chill:
Let the tea come to room temperature, then transfer it to the fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill fully. For an extra burst of flavour, you can add a few fresh raspberries or lemon slices while it chills. - Serve:
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over. Add a squeeze of lemon if you like a hint of citrus. Garnish with a couple of fresh raspberries and a sprig of lavender or mint for a fragrant finish.
✦ Tips & Variations:
- For a sparkling twist, top with soda water or lemonade instead of serving over plain ice.
- Planning a party? This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a big jug — it looks stunning served in a glass pitcher with fruit and herbs.
Whether you’re sipping it solo with a book in the garden or serving it up to friends at a summer gathering, this iced tea cooler is a gorgeous way to enjoy the floral-fruity charm of Raspberry & Lavender. Light, fragrant and full of flavour — it’s summer in a glass.
