Yield 56 ounces

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 ounces frozen unsweetened frozen blueberries (purchased from Aldi's)
4 cups water
10 orange & black pekoe flavored tea bags (purchased from Aldi's)
3 cups blueberry juice (Ocean Spray Blueberry Juice Cocktail)
1 (1/2 ounce) container sugar-free lemonade-flavored drink mix (purchased from Aldi's)

Steps:

In a large saucepan, add the frozen blueberries, and the water.
Bring water to a boil; stir once or twice while waiting for the water to come to a boil.
After the water comes to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and simmer the berries for 10 minutes.
Remove pan from the heat, and strain the water/blueberries.
Add the tea bags to the pan, cover the pan, and steep the tea for 1 hour.
Remove the tea bags from the pan, and strain the tea twice.
Pour the blueberry-tea into a heat proof glass pitcher.
To the pitcher, add one tub of the sugar-free lemonade flavored drink mix, and give the mixture a good stir.
Add the blueberry juice to the pitcher, and stir.
At this point you can immediately serve the tea in a glass filled with ice, or you can chill the tea in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
