Combine brewed tea with cranberry juice and honey for a tart, sweet drink. Choose a black, green, or herbal tea you enjoy, then chill the mixture and serve over ice if desired.
Ingredients
- 2 tea bags of your chosen black, green, or herbal tea
- 1 cup water, heated according to the tea's brewing directions
- 1 cup cranberry juice, unsweetened or sweetened according to your preference
- 2 tablespoons honey, adjusted to taste
- Ice cubes, optional
- Washed fresh cranberries and culinary mint leaves for garnish, optional
Check the tea's ingredients and caffeine information, and read the cranberry juice label. Juice products vary in ingredients and sweetness, which will affect the finished drink.
Instructions
Heat the water. Heat 1 cup water to the temperature recommended for your chosen tea. Do not use boiling water automatically for every blend.
Brew the tea. Place the 2 tea bags in a heatproof container, add the water, and steep according to the product's directions. Remove the tea bags.
Add honey. Stir the honey into the warm tea until dissolved. Adjust the amount to taste, particularly if using sweetened cranberry juice.
Cool and chill. Cool promptly using a container suitable for the tea's temperature, then refrigerate until chilled.
Measure the juice. Pour 1 cup cranberry juice into a serving jug or other suitable container.
Combine. Add the chilled tea to the juice and stir well. Add ice if desired.
Serve. Divide among glasses and add washed cranberries or culinary mint leaves if using.
Enjoy chilled. Serve promptly and keep any remaining mixture refrigerated. The number of servings depends on glass size and the amount of ice.
Choose a tea flavor
Different blends will change the flavor of the drink. Follow the individual tea's brewing instructions and do not assume a herbal blend is caffeine-free.
This recipe specifies tea bags. If using loose-leaf tea, follow the product's quantity guidance rather than guessing a fixed bag-to-leaf conversion, and strain before mixing.
