Steps:
- Ice Cubes - For flavored ice cubes - freeze orange juice in ice cube trays.
- For the orange slices/blackberries ice cubes - place half a slice of orange and two blackberries in ice cube tray and fill with water -- freeze and store in plastic bag until ready to use.
- Steep teabags in 4 cups of boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes, then discard the teabags. Place tea on counter to cool.
- Don't allow tea to over steep, it will result in a bitter tea.
- In large pot, bring blackberries, juice, sugar and 1/2 cup water to boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the blackberries break down.
- Next add the berry mixture to the tea. Allow the hot tea to cool on the counter before putting into the fridge to prevent clouding in your tea.
- Once tea has cooled put in fridge to chill for 4 hours.
- Strain tea mixture and serve in a ice cube filled glass that you have rimmed with orange juice and dipped in sugar.
- Garnish with orange slice and mint. Close your eyes, sit back on the deck and enjoy.
- Iced tea taste best when it is freshly made and will last for two or three days.
