Healthy Summer Drink ~ Blackberry Lemon Tea (Hot or Cold)

I love experimenting with different fruit and herbal tea combinations. This blackberry lemon tea turned out especially delicious, and it’s full of Vitamin C which is perfect for going into the autumn season soon.

If it’s still too hot for tea in your part of the world, you can easily turn this into a refreshing cold drink by adding ice cubes and extra lemon slices. Enjoy!

And here is my simple tea recipe for August:

Blackberry and Lemon Tea (hot or cold)

a handful of fresh blackberries
1 tsp honey (or more if you like)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Lemon slices
A few fresh blackberry leaves (optional)

Instructions: Pour about 500 ml of boiling water over all the ingredients and steep them for 10 min.

For hot tea: Pour the blackberry and lemon tea into cups. Garnish with lemon slices, and additional blackberry leaves if desired.

For iced tea: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator. Serve over ice, garnishing with lemon slices and a few fresh blackberries.
