The Refreshing Blueberry Iced Tea

You can’t have a summery tea list without including this Lemon Blueberry Iced Tea at the top of it! It’s quick and simple to prepare, and the flavor combination is just amazing.

It’s common knowledge that nothing compares to a refreshing drink of sweet tea. Fortunately, there are plenty of leftovers in this easy sweet green tea to savor the flavors again and again.

This is besides the most delicious sweet tea to prepare and drink—or downright gulp—but it’s also a ton of fun to enjoy with your loved ones while lounging on the porch. There’s justification to keep a refreshing lemon iced tea drink this excellent to yourself! 

The Ingredients for Blueberry Iced Tea

• Ice: A glass of cooled tea needs ice!
• Fresh Lemon Juice: Squeezing in some lemon juice offsets the sugar content of the berries and enhances the tea flavor.
• Fresh Blueberries: The most effective blueberries are fresh since they naturally add sugar content, but frozen ones remain effective.
• Green Tea: The easiest way to ensure that there are no loose tea leaves circulating in your beverage is to use tea bags. 
• Water: Osmosis, or purified water is what I intend to use.
• Honey: Both maple nectar and dulcet are excellent. 

Steps to Make the Lemon Blueberry Iced Tea

• Four cups of water should be heated in a big saucepan or teapot until just before boiling. Before proceeding, let the water cool for a few seconds if it bubbles.
• In a tightly sealed saucepan or teapot, add 6 tea bags, and brew for 3 minutes. Take out and throw away the tea bags. When taking out the teabags, do not squeeze them. Allow the tea to cool.
• Add the blueberries, lemon zest, and one cup of water to a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat; bring to a boil while the water heats or the tea steeps. After it reaches a boil, lower the flame to moderate and stew for roughly eight minutes. Take off the heat.
• The blueberry combination should be delicately poured onto a sieve set over a wide bowl so that the blueberries become separated but the juice still flows into the bowl. Throw out the blueberries.
• Add two tablespoons of honey to the liquid from the blueberries and whisk until completely combined and melted.
• The blueberry juice combination should be added to 1 1/2 cups of the cooled brewed tea in a big jug (I like to use a glass). Let the liquid chill completely in the refrigerator for one hour.
• Pour the Lemon Blueberry Iced Tea into a tumbler over ice and sprinkle with fresh blueberries and lemon slices.

Flavor Crystals or Tea Bags: What’s Preferred? 

I have no clue why, but it seems a lot of people enjoy using flavor crystals to make iced tea. Making iced tea with tea bags is quite simple. In addition to improving the flavor of your iced tea, preparing it yourself also makes it simple to experiment with tastes and be inventive. Furthermore, I want to know exactly what I eat and drink, so the thought of consuming powdered grains bothers me somewhat. The only two components required for tea, whether it is hot or cold, are tea and liquid. The less components, the better.  

Can I use other Flavors? 

Of course! Count this as another benefit of preparing this beverage for iced tea. You can experiment and add whatever tea flavor you like. Change it up and make it uniquely yours.

Look at the alternatives for tea bags as you travel down the shopping aisle. The variety of tastes available that you may use and swap out is astounding! This is such an easy way to make this drink for iced tea different every time.

The Variations

• Any organic sugar or sugar substitute of your choosing can be used if you’re not a lover of honey.
• This tea recipe works just as well with ripe strawberries or raspberries, although blueberries are the main attraction here.
• An interesting twist on this is to place a wedge of lemon on the exterior of the glass, allowing the drinker to squeeze in additional juice from the lemon if desired.
• An ordinary iced tea foundation is wonderfully twisted by the addition of floral, green, black, and herbal teas.
• Include a handful of frozen blackberries, strawberries, or blueberries.

How to store the Blueberry Iced Tea?

For the sake of time on preparation, you can prepare this tea in advance! Just remember to stir it once more before consuming it and preserve it in the refrigerator. You can enjoy your lemon blueberry iced tea for up to five days.

Furthermore, avoid adding any ice to the container since it will melt and flood the entire village. Ice should only be added to the glasses just before serving.
