Instant Pot Blackberry Iced Tea
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 cup. water
- 6 organic black tea bags, paper tags removed
- 1½ cup. fresh blackberries, divided
- 2 Tbsp. fresh basil, chopped
- ½ cup. honey, preferably local
- ½ cup. water
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Optional garnish:
- Fresh blackberries
- Fresh basil sprigs
Instructions
- Add water, tea bags, and a half cup of blackberries to Instant Pot® and stir to combine. Add lid and lock into place. Switch the vent to “Sealing” and set the “Manual” setting to 5 minutes.
- While the tea is brewing, add remaining blackberries, basil, honey, and water to the saucepan set over medium heat. Cook, gently pressing on the blackberries to release their juices while continually stirring the mixture to combine, for 4-5 minutes. Once the honey is completely melted and the mixture starts to thicken, remove it from heat and set it aside.
- When cook time on Instant Pot® is complete, allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
- Carefully strain hot tea mixture with a fine-mesh strainer. Pour the reserved liquid into a large, heat-resistant pitcher and sweeten it with the blackberry honey simple syrup, to taste. Add fresh lemon juice and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately over ice with fresh blackberries and a sprig of fresh basil for garnish. Enjoy!
