Cold-Brewed Smashed Raspberry Honey Iced Tea

Hi Everyone, It’s still rather hot here in New Jersey and I find the cooling effect of iced tea to be a beacon of respite on a humid, sunny day.

My daughter M was playing while I was setting up for this shoot and she became interested in what I was doing, then intensely focused, so I just went with her enthusiasm.

I think I have a budding food stylist here!

She was really intent on placing the silverware, cookery, and stirring, all the while being careful and specific – it was amusing and touching for me to watch her.

I was so happy to have her be genuinely involved and interested – as much as a toddler can be!

Why Cold-Brewed Tea?

The flavor of the tea is more subtle and delicate than hot brewed tea in my experience.

I try to avoid turning on the oven when it’s hot out and this is something that I can prepare the night before and it is so easy to do!

Cold-Brewed Smashed Raspberry Iced Tea Story

Traditional Medicinals

Special Thanks to Traditional Medicinals for providing the tea for this post!

They recently sent me a box of a variety of teas and it was fun trying new flavors.

They are one of my favorite tea brands.

I love that they are Non-GMO and organic.

I have Mother’s Milk tea every night after I put M. to sleep.

It’s my ritual ever since I came home from the hospital with her.

Below are some photos of cardamom pods that I got when I made rum babas.

They have an almost floral, subtle and warm nuanced scent.

Also, Traditional Medicinals Pregnancy Tea was my special beverage of choice while I was pregnant since I couldn’t have coffee during the pregnancy.

I highly recommend their Pregnancy Tea to expectant mothers.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put the desired amount of tea bags in your teapot and fill it with water, stir, making sure the tea bags are completely immersed in the water. (The ceramic teapot I used holds just under 4 cups of water and I used 2 tea bags and it yielded medium strength tea, I would err on the side of making it stronger because it can always be diluted with water later, if necessary.) Allow the teabags to soak overnight in the refrigerator, (overnight, I recommend at least 12+ hours).Cold-brewed Smashed Raspberry Honey Iced Tea is light and refreshing – pair the smashed raspberries and honey with your favorite tea, or in this case, Traditional Medicinals Mother’s Milk Shatavari Cardamom.
  2. Put the most raspberries in a bowl (save some to garnish!) and smash with a fork. Stir in honey. Spoon in the desired amount to the bottom of the glasses. Add ice cubes to the glasses. Pour iced tea over ice, stir with a spoon if desired, or leave the fruit mixture on the bottom, garnish with raspberries on top, serve and enjoy!Cold-brewed Smashed Raspberry Honey Iced Tea is light and refreshing – pair the smashed raspberries and honey with your favorite tea, or in this case, Traditional Medicinals Mother’s Milk Shatavari Cardamom.
