Instructions
Remove the tea bags from the box and tie them together, then clip the paper tags off.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes. After steep time, remove the tea bags, allowing the tea to drip out of them before discarding them.
Pour the warm tea into a large pitcher, then pour in 3 cups of cold water. Add the raspberry syrup, then stir. Allow the mixture to cool before serving.
Once cooled, pour the raspberry tea over ice, and garnish with fresh raspberries and/or mint leaves if desired, then drink up!
