This is my all-time favorite summer drink. Very refreshing. If you prefer, the tea can be prepared and chilled 1 day ahead (Step 4), just cover and keep chilled in the refrigerator. Or you can cheat (which is what I do), and place the tea mixture in the freezer for about an hour, and then continue on with the recipe. I'm too impatient to wait three hours for this drink. Ingredients:
8 cups water |
8 wild-berry tea bags (i use lipton's bavarian wild berry tea bags) |
2 cups sugar |
4 pints fresh strawberries, halved |
2 (25 1/2 ounce) bottles chilled sparkling apple cider |
6 kiwi fruits, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
1 teaspoon rose water |
4 cups ice cubes |
Directions:
1. Bring 4 cups water to boil in a large saucepan.
2. Add tea bags; cover and let steep 10 minutes. Discard tea bags.
3. Add sugar to hot tea; stir until dissolved. Stir in remaining 4 cups water.
4. Chill tea until cold, about 3 hours.
5. Puree 2 baskets of strawberries in processor. Slice remaining 2 baskets of strawberries. Place pureed and sliced strawberries in large pitcher.
6. Add tea and all remaining ingredients.
7. Stir and serve.
