Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large pitcher, combine 6 cups cooled brewed black tea, 1 cup fresh blackberries, 12 fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 3 tbsp honey. Stir gently until honey dissolves and fruit releases aroma.
  2. Step 2: Let the mixture steep in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and mint to infuse.
  3. Step 3: Before serving, add 2 cups chilled club soda and 3 cups ice cubes to the pitcher to chill and create a gentle fizz.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with 1/2 cup lemon slices and a few extra mint leaves for a bright, inviting presentation.
