Crafting Mulberry and Rosehip Iced Tea with Lemon Slices is a seamless process. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients, ensuring the mulberries are washed and the rosehips are prepared.
2. Boil Water: In a saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil.
3. Steep Rosehips: Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and add the dried rosehips. Cover the pan and let steep for 30 minutes to extract flavors.
4. Add Mulberries: After 30 minutes, stir in the fresh mulberries or frozen ones into the steeped rosehip tea. Allow to sit for an additional 15 minutes.
5. Strain the Tea: Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into a pitcher, pressing the fruit gently to release as much liquid as possible.
6. Sweeten the Tea: Stir in the granulated sugar while the tea is still warm, ensuring it fully dissolves. Adjust sweetness to taste.
7. Cool the Tea: Allow the sweetened tea to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 15 minutes.
8. Serve over Ice: Pour the chilled tea over ice cubes in glasses. Add sliced lemon and fresh mint leaves if desired for added flavor and decoration.
9. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with additional slices of lemon and mint leaves for a stunning look.
These simple steps will lead you to a refreshing and flavorful iced tea, perfect for any occasion.
