Ingredients

• 7 cups water, divided

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

• Ice cubes

• Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

​

Directions

1. Place 4 cups water in a medium saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil, uncovered. Remove from heat. Add tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags, lightly pressing the liquid out of the bags; discard the tea bags. Let the tea cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine raspberries and the remaining 3 cups water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat; use a fork to smash any remaining whole raspberries. (Alternatively, process with an immersion blender until the raspberries are pureed, about 30 seconds.) Pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl; discard solids.

3. Transfer the cooled tea to a pitcher; stir in the raspberry liquid and lemon juice. Refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
