Raspberry Iced Tea
Ingredients
Raspberry Iced Tea
- 8-10 Family-size tea bags
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 8 cups boiling water
- 2 cups ice-cold water
- 2 6-ounce containers fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup water
- Plenty of ice
Instructions
Raspberry Iced Tea
- In a gallon pouring pitcher, steep 8-10 family-size tea bags in boiling water. Stir in the sugar immediately, so it dissolves. Let the tea bags steep for about 20-25 minutes.
- While the tea bags steep, soften the raspberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat with ¼ cup of water. Press the berries through a fine mesh strainer into a large Pyrex measuring cup. Discard the pulp and seeds.
- Remove the tea bags. Add the berry juices into the tea. Stir. Add 2 cups cold water and plenty of ice to the pouring pitcher. Pour over ice and enjoy.

Ashley says
In the ingredients list it calls for 2 cups of ice cold water. But in the steps of the recipe it doesn’t talk about it. Can someone tell me where the 2 cups of ice water comes into play?
Jessica Robinson says
Ashley,
I’ve updated the instructions. You add the cold water with the ice.
Justin czlapinski says
I believe you just add it to the pitcher of brewed tea at the end and stir it in
Jessica Robinson says
Justin,
Yes, thank you that is noted in the instructions.
Jenni says
We make homemade ices tea ALL the time….but what are family sized tea bags? How many regular sized ones equal a family sized one?
Jessica Robinson says
Jenni,
You can find “family size” tea bags in the coffee/tea aisle in any major grocery store or Walmart. I would say that one family-size is equal to about 2 regular tea bags.

That raspberry iced tea looks delicious. I need to make it when the weather get warmed little bit. Best part is raspberries are cheap also during summer.

Michael says
Looking really great. I want to taste it. Fresh berries are tasty. Not really common here from where I am.
Jessica Robinson says
Michael,
you can always use frozen raspberries. Since they are frozen at the peak of freshness.
