Description

Directions

• Bring water close to a boil (remove from heat or switch off just before boiling). Add the tea bags to the water and steep for about 10 mins
• Remove the tea bags and stir in the honey whilst the mixture is still warm
• Pop the basil leaves and blackberries into a serving jug, and use the end of a wooden spoon to gently muddle them together (you dont want to be too rough, we just want a nice little infusion of flavour to be released)
• Pour the tea mixture over the basil mixture and let the whole thing cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pop into the fridge until ready to serve
• To serve: Pop a few ice cubes into a glass, pour the tea over the ice and garnish with a slice of lemon (i usually squeeze a little bit of lemon into the glass as well for an extra pop of flavour)
