Raspberry Rose Iced Tea

Recipe from Summer Iced Tea Recipes: 50+ Regular, Herbal, Milk, and Fruity Teas

Prep: 10 min  Cook: 1 hour  Serves: 4

Ingredients:

1 quart water

4 white tea bags

2 cups fresh rose petals (or 4 Tbs dried rose petals)

4 cups fresh (or frozen) raspberries

Sugar or honey, to taste

Directions:

• In a large pot, bring the water to almost a boil. Remove from heat and stir in sugar to dissolve. If using honey, add after the tea has cooled slightly, so the heat doesn’t destroy the health benefits.
• Add the white tea bags with rose petals and steep for 5 minutes.
• Remove tea bags and add the raspberries.
• Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for 1 hour to infuse flavors.
• Strain the raspberries and rose petals from the tea and serve over ice.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries and rose petals.

Fun Fact!

Rose petals have many health benefits including reducing anxiety, improving digestion, soothing cramps, and reducing inflammation. More than just a pretty flower, add these petals in with lavender or chamomile too, to lower stress and have a more restful sleep.
