Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
-
2 black tea bags (or 2 tsp loose leaf black tea)
-
1 cup water (for brewing tea)
-
1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
-
1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like almond or oat milk)
-
Ice cubes
-
Extra blackberries and mint for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Brew the black tea with 1 cup hot water; let steep for 5 minutes. Cool to room temp or chill.
-
In a small saucepan, heat blackberries with sweetener until soft and syrupy (about 5 mins). Mash and strain to remove seeds.
-
In a glass, add ice cubes, blackberry syrup, and chilled tea.
-
Pour in milk and stir gently to combine.
-
Garnish with extra blackberries or mint. Serve chilled.
Notes
-
Adjust sweetness to taste or skip sweetener entirely.
-
For a stronger tea flavor, steep longer or use more tea.
-
Oat or almond milk adds a nice creamy texture while keeping it dairy-free.
-
You can blend the drink for a smoothie-style variation.
