June is National Iced Tea Month. Seriously. If there is a food or drink, there is a day to celebrate. So to pay tribute, I whipped up some homemade refreshing Blackberry Mint Green Tea.

It's really quite simple to make your own iced tea; though I'm sure many of you still prefer to purchase your tea in powder form and mix it yourselves.

But think about all of that added sugar! No wonder I was bouncing off of the walls as kid between that and growing up in the height of the Kool Aid revolution. 😉

How do you make Blackberry Mint Green Tea?

In any event, making your own iced tea takes a few simple ingredients: tea bags, hot water and flavorings of your choice. With this Blackberry Mint Green Tea, I pureed some fresh blackberries and added some of those chocolate mint leaves like I used in the Strawberry Chocolate Mint Sorbet. 

If you prefer sweet tea, add you favorite sweetener and adjust to your liking. The entire process takes 15 minutes and by making your own, you get a refreshing, low calorie, less sugar beverage than it's pre-made counterparts which contain over 20 grams of sugar per serving. ~Enjoy!
