Blackberry Ginger Iced Green Tea
• Straining the blackberry puree creates a smoother, less pulpy drink. • Adjust sweetness based on the ripeness of fruit. • Mint can be lightly bruised before adding for a stronger flavor. • Best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Health Benefits: This iced tea provides antioxidant-rich compounds from green tea, blackberries, and mint, which may support cellular health and inflammation balance. Ginger contributes bioactive compounds that support digestion and may help reduce nausea or bloating. Blackberries add fiber and polyphenols that support gut health and metabolic health, while green tea provides catechins that may support cardiovascular and metabolic function as part of an overall balanced diet.
