Blueberry Basil Iced Tea

What do you get when a bunch of blueberries try to go through a door all at once?
A jam.


It's summer time, sweet sweet summer time, summer time.. and we are here hanging in the south...so of course we are making some iced tea.

This is a great one.  Refreshing blueberry iced tea with fresh basil.  For more basil flavor, take a fresh piece and rub around the rim of your glass (great trick for cocktails too!).

Here's what you need:
4 bags of Blueberry Herbal Tea
boiling water
cold water
fresh basil, a handful-ish



Boil water.  Place 4 tea bags in your tea pot.

Pour boiling water into tea pot and let bags sit for 5 minutes.

 Get fresh basil (hopefully from your garden ;) ).

Add basil to large pitcher.  Take tea bags out and let tea cool completely.

Once cooled, add tea to pitcher.

Fill the rest of the pitcher with cold water.

For best results, let sit in fridge for at least a day so basil flavor can set in.

But if you can't wait, I understand.
