Description
A refreshing iced latte featuring chilled black tea paired with blackberry and sage-infused milk, lightly sweetened for a uniquely herbal and fruity experience—perfect for warmer days with a creative twist.
Ingredients
2 cups strong brewed black tea, chilled
½ cup blackberries (fresh or frozen)
¼ cup sage leaves (about 6–8 leaves)
½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew black tea using two tea bags or loose-leaf tea. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes until cold.
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sage leaves, milk, and sweetener. Heat gently over low to medium heat for 3–4 minutes without boiling.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve, pressing the solids to extract flavor. Cool and refrigerate until chilled.
- Fill glasses with ice. Pour in the chilled tea, then top with the infused milk.
- Stir lightly and serve immediately. Optionally garnish with sage leaves or whole blackberries.
Notes
- Use oat milk for added creaminess.
- Don’t boil the milk infusion to avoid bitterness.
- Prep both components ahead and assemble before serving.
- Adjust sage and sweetener to taste preferences.
