Blackberry Tea Recipe

FAQs

What can I use besides Splenda for sweetener?

You can use regular sugar or even honey instead of using Splenda. If using regular sugar I recommend mixing 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Then add your sugary mixture to the glasses “to taste” meaning add in as much or as little as you want.

What does blackberry tea taste like?

It’s tart, sweet, fruity, and tastes like summer but with a light and refreshing twist thanks to the fresh basil leaves.
