Fruit Iced Tea
Fresh fruit adds a bright twist to brewed tea. This refreshing drink is ideal for picnics, pool parties, and hot summer days!
Ingredients
- 5 black tea bags or 5 tsp (25 mL) loose-leaf tea
- 5 cups (1.25 L) hot water
- 2 cups (500 mL) frozen fruit (sliced strawberries, peaches, raspberries, blueberries, mango) (see cook’s tips)
- Ice for serving
- Sweetener (optional)
Directions
- Place the infuser in the Cold Brew Pitcher. Add the tea bags to the infuser.
- Carefully pour the hot water over the tea. Place the center lid on the pitcher. Let the tea steep for 5 minutes, or until it reaches the desired strength.

- To serve, pour the tea over the ice and top with fruit. Add sweetener, if you’d like.

You can make this tea with fresh fruit instead of frozen. Use the Cup Slicer to slice 1 cup (250 mL) of fruit. Add the fruit, along with 1 cup (250 mL) of ice, to the pitcher after removing the steeped tea bags.
