Creating the perfect Honey Raspberry Sweet Tea is simple if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Boil the Water: In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.

2. Brew the Tea: Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for about 10 minutes.

3. Prepare the Raspberries: While the tea is steeping, rinse the fresh raspberries under cold water. Set aside a few for garnish.

4. Combine Ingredients: After 10 minutes, remove the tea bags. Stir in the honey while the tea is still warm, ensuring it dissolves completely.

5. Mash the Raspberries: In a separate bowl, mash the raspberries with a fork to release their juices.

7. Cool the Tea: Allow the mixture to cool down for 30 minutes at room temperature.

8. Serve Over Ice: When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice and pour the tea over the ice.

9. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with a few fresh raspberries and a slice of lemon if desired.
