Flavored teas may
contain as much as 6 teaspoons of sugar per 6-ounce glass. This iced tea uses only about one teaspoon of
sugar, and artificial sweetner can be substituted to trim the calories even
more. Fresh fruit provides the flavor
and much of the sweetness.
Red
Raspberry Tea
2 c. fresh or frozen raspberries
Juice and zest of one medium orange
3 T. sugar
4 c. water
3 decaffeinated tea bags
Lemon slices
Puree the raspberries
in a blender or food processor. Use a
wooden spoon to strain the puree through a fine sieve set over a bowl.
Put the orange juice,
zest, sugar and water into a 2-quart saucepan.
Bring to a boil and boil for 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar is
dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat
and add the tea bags. Let the tea steep
for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the tea into
the puree, stir the mixture and chill.
Serve the raspberry
tea over ice and garnish with lemon slices.
Serves 8.
