Sweet Blackberry Tea
Iced or hot this tea is yummy and oh so easy and cheap! Who needs a fancy Starbucks drink?! (Not me cause the closest Starbucks is at least 20 min away) I boiled a mug of water and 5 or 6 frozen blackberries in the microwave for 2 minutes. (I used blackberries because that's what I had in the freezer) Be careful it's hot straight out of the microwave. Add a heaping teaspoon of sugar or to taste if you like it more or less sweet. You could also substitute a sugar free sweetener or honey. Then I crushed the berries with a spoon to let out all their juice. Pop in your tea bag and steep for a few minutes. Lastly, I strained the blackberry seeds through a small mesh strainer. That's it! Easy peasy. Enjoy hot or poured over ice. I didn't actually calculate the cost, but I'm guessing it's less than a quarter for 16 oz. Yummy and cheap my favs!
