Notes
- Any blueberry tea works: I tested Bigelow Wild Blueberry with Acai, but use your favorite blueberry tea bags.
- Herbal tea is caffeine-free: Use black or green blueberry tea for a stronger iced tea flavor.
- Don’t over-steep: Follow the tea package directions so the tea doesn’t taste bitter.
- Sweeten after mixing: Start with 1 cup, then add more only if needed.
- Cool the tea first: Very hot tea will melt the ice and water down the drink.
- Add ice when serving: For make-ahead, chill without ice and pour over ice later.
- Frozen blueberries help: They keep the drink cold and add light berry flavor as they thaw.
