I have been making a variety of infused Iced Teas since my recent lunch with HE The Ambassador of Tunisia at her official residence.
I have even made Iced Green Tea with pine nuts last weekend, certainly an influence of Tunisia.
And I loved Bobby Flay’s to celebrate Iced Tea Day this week.
My favorite one so far has been the Raspberry Iced Infusion with Cranberry and to make it you will need:
5 cups brewed Raspberry infusion bags
5 cups low sugar Cranberry Juice
Orange slices to garnish
And i also used mint leaves, special ones ! chocolate flavored mint leaves (Mentha piperita) which is a hybrid of water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). Just amazing and I cannot wait to start using it to decorate my cakes and pastries..
Mix the raspberry tea and cranberry juice
Serve over ice and garnish with orange slices and mint
i find them resfreshing, much nicer than carbonated drinks and i featured them a few times in the Press this week.

This is such a great idea, I have a cupboard full of fruit tea bags, and now I have loves of uses for them – thanks! It’s a rare warm and sunny day in London today and I can’t think of anything nicer than a glass of iced tea.

Lea, I love Ice Tea for me it is second only to coffee.. 🙂 I am looking forward to trying the Raspberry, Cranberry yet I do lean towards the Green Tea with the pine-nuts sounds interesting do you add the pine nuts during the steeping process?

Hi Joe, yes i am also now completed converted to delcious fruit teas but like you irrestable coffee is always a first . I wrote about the tea amd pine nuts a few weeks ago http://goodfoodeveryday.wordpress.com/2014/04/18/tunisian-tea-hot-cross-buns-and-the-prime-minister-tweets/ and i usually pit them in before serving. They always float at the top. The earthiness of the pine nuts with the clean taste of tea is something I love. Have a lovely week !
