Why you'll love it
This tea is slightly tart and juicy, which makes it ultra-refreshing. On warm summer days, prepare this tea as an intense, strong infusion, letting it cool and then serving it iced and garnished with a mint leaf for a special treat.
A little honey or agave makes it even more delicious. The elderberry and blackberry along with black currant, help to support immunity. Preparing this tea hot can soothe a sore throat and provide a comforting boost of antioxidants.

Tea Cocktail Recommendations
Aptly named, this tea is just perfect in a summer sangria. Mix it with a light, sparkling wine or even a little vodka and a few handfuls of berries.
Serve by the glass or in a pitcher. It's a wonderful addition to your summer gathering or pool party.
Directions
Iced 16oz cup: 3 tsp tea steeped for 5 minutes in about 8 to 10 ounces of water. This concentrates the tea a bit so your beverage isn't watered down. Fill the glass with ice, and pour and strain brewed tea into your glass. Enjoy!
Hot: 1 tsp per 8 ounces of water steeped for 3 minutes. Strain and enjoy!
