Sparkling Wild Berry Tea

from Chow Bella

4 berry-flavored tea bags (I used Celestial Seasonings Wild Berry Zinger)

4 cups boiling water

1 cup mixed berries, fresh or thawed frozen berries

1/2 cup honey or agave nectar

2 cups cold water

2 cups chilled sparkling water

ice, for serving

1. Combine the tea bags with the boiling water and allow to steep until the tea is dark in color, about 10-15 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, combine the berries and honey or agave nectar in a blender and puree. If necessary, add some of the cold water in order to get the blender blade going.

3. Add the tea, berry mixture, and cold water to a pitcher that is at least 2 qts in volume. Allow the tea to sit in the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.

4. Serve the cold tea in glasses filled with ice. Top each glass of tea with sparkling water.
