Patriotic Iced Tea

Patriotic Iced Tea. May 5, 2022.
As an avid coffee and tea drinker, I am always interested in trying new products, and recently, a fun-looking iced tea package on the Harney and Sons website caught my eye. I’ve enjoyed Harney and Sons teas before, as well as their iced tea, but they had a sampler that was new to me (not to mention an excellent deal!). The sampler arrived with four flavors; however, the Indigo Punch iced tea stood out. In fact, the indigo punch iced tea inspired today’s iced tea. 

You’ve probably seen the popular butterfly pea flowers and the beautiful blue/indigo color they infuse into drinks and food. Butterfly pea flowers have a chamomile-like taste, and this fruity herb tea blend includes butterfly pea flowers, hibiscus, rosehip, and other fruity notes. It struck me as an excellent candidate for a drink that all might enjoy. Keep reading for the recipe.

Patriotic Iced Tea

There isn't much to this recipe except iced tea and fruit. Use another butterfly pea tea if you like for the blue color.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 2-quart-sized iced tea bag of Harney and Sons Indigo Punch Iced Tea (see link below for tea I used)
• Blueberries (I used a pint)
• Quartered strawberries (I used a scant pint)
• Red Delicious Apple chopped (I used one)
• Simple syrup or stevia drops

Instructions

• Make the iced tea according to instructions.
• Then using a big pitcher add iced tea and sweeten to taste with simple syrup or sweetener of choice.
• Next, add the washed and prepared fruit. My fruit tended to layer itself, which worked out nicely. The blueberries were first and sunk. The strawberries next, and the apple, which floated at the top. A very red, white, and blue-themed drink.
• Chill until ready to enjoy!

Notes

Get Indigo iced tea bags here.

You can also use another butterfly pea based iced tea for the blue color.
