The New:
I love tea. I love raspberry tea. I love peach tea. I love raspberry peach tea? I do now! Here's what I did:
I have a Mr. Coffee Tea Maker, which I love so so much! So I decided to get a little creative with it and add some frozen raspberries and peaches to the mix. I had quite a lot of these two things in my freezer from earlier this summer, when I was trying to keep them from going bad. So I just tossed what I had left into the pitcher, which was about a cup of peaches and a little more than a cup of raspberries, and then brewed 3 quarts of tea like I normally do. The only difference this time was that I didn't put any ice in the pitcher because the berries were frozen, so I just topped it off with water to the 3 quart mark when it was done brewing. Side note: its better to measure our the water to pour into the brewing part before you put the berries in.
That's pretty much it! Once the tea is done brewing and you've added the extra water, you'll have yourself one fresh and fruity pitcher of tea!
The Evidence:
The Verdict:
This tea was delicious. The raspberries were much more prominent than the peaches, but there was still a subtle peachy taste to it. The raspberries also added a flavorful tartness to the drink, so squeezing lemon into it wasn't even close to necessary. Also, the fruit flavor gets significantly stronger if you let it sit overnight. This was a truly great way to empty out some of the array of frozen fruits I had in my freezer, and I would definitely do it again.
