Instructions
- Prepare the Raspberry Puree: In a medium bowl, add your fresh raspberries and use a fork or muddler to mash them until you have about a cup of raspberry puree.
- Brew the Tea: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and steep for 5–7 minutes.

Notes
For a lighter sweetness, consider using honey or agave syrup. If you’re looking for variations, try adding lemon juice or using different berries.
