Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) brewed strong black or green tea
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) berry-flavored fruit syrup or concentrate (blueberry or raspberry recommended)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold sparkling water
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (simple syrup, honey, or agave)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew your tea: Use 1 cup (240 ml) of hot water and steep 1-2 tea bags or 1 tbsp loose tea for 3-5 minutes. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.
- Sweeten your tea: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener while the tea is still slightly warm. Taste and adjust sweetness.
- Add the fruit syrup: Pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of berry-flavored syrup or concentrate and stir well.
- Mix in sparkling water: Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold sparkling water and stir gently to preserve bubbles.
- Serve over ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the mixture over, stir gently, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Cool the brewed tea before adding syrup to preserve fizz. Adjust sweetness to taste. For stronger caffeine, use more tea leaves or an extra tea bag. Add sparkling water last and stir gently to keep bubbles.
