Iced Blackberry Infused Earl Grey Tea

So I was on Pinterest and I spotted this recipe, and you all know how much I love Earl Grey tea.

I was so excited to make it as it sounded really good. So without further ado, let’s get right into this (by the way this recipe originally comes from ONE armed MAMA). 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Pint of Blackberries (~2 Cups)
• 1/2 Cup of Granulated Sugar (or any other alternative sweetener)
• 8 Bags of Earl Grey Tea (4 Tablespoons Loose Leaf Tea)
• 1/2 Cup of Cream or any dairy substitute

Directions:

1. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
2. Meanwhile, place berries in a large bowl with sugar.
3. Crush the berries into a thick jam-like liquid.
4. Sprinkle in tea or add tea bags.
5. Pour hot water over the fruit and tea and steep for 5 mins.
6. Place 5 cups of ice in a large pitcher and strain berry infused concentrate over ice.
7. The ice will immediately melt, diluting the concentrate and cooling the tea,
8. Serve in a tall glass with ice, and drizzle in a tablespoon, or more, of cream.

So I eagerly drank it…but this was horrible.

I don’t know what happened, but I ended up dropping it all down the drain. What a waste of blackberries.

It was so awful!

I will not be making this ever again.
