Blackberry Tea
In a medium stainless steel pot, add 1 cup of the water and let it come to a simmer or slow boil on the stove. Then take the pot off the heat.
Add 2 tbsp of organic blackberry tea blend to the hot water and let it steep for 7 minutes or longer.
Get out one half-gallon glass mason jar and add ¼ cup of sugar to the bottom of the jar (optional). Set a stainless steel funnel into the top of the jar and set a fine mesh sieve over the funnel to catch the loose tea leaves.
When the tea has steeped for at least 7 minutes, pour the tea liquid through the sieve and funnel into the jar. You can squeeze out the liquid from the tea leaves with a spoon or fork, but small particles may get pushed through into your tea jar.
If you added sugar, stir the tea and sugar together until well-combined. Once that is done, fill the jar with the rest of the water and stir. Then add the lid and refrigerate.
