Ingredients for Blackberry Tea Mocktail
- Sugar - Granulated sugar. We'll be making blackberry sugar syrup. Mmm...
- Blackberries - 8 ounces for the syrup, and additional berries for garnishing and snacking.
- Earl Grey Tea - 3 tea bags, or 3 teaspoon if using loose leaf.
- White Tea - 2 tea bags, or 2 teaspoon if using loose leaf. Have trouble finding white tea? I know I did. Using a combination of green and white tea will make your drink taste just as lovely!
- Water - Water will be divided. 1 cup for our Blackberry sugar syrup, and 8 cups for boiling and steeping the tea.
How To Make A Blackberry Tea Mocktail
- Using at least a 2-quart saucepan, add in Blackberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Over medium-high heat, stir with a rubber spatula until all of the sugar has dissolved. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Prepare a fine mesh strainer over a pitcher or large bowl if necessary. Carefully remove from heat and pour through the strainer. Using your spatula, you can press the blackberries to release more juice for a more concentrated flavor.
- With the remaining 8 cups of water, use a large pot and bring it to a boil.
- Once boiling, remove from heat and add Earl Gray and White tea bag into the pot. Stirring and gently pressing into the tea bags will release more flavor as the tea steeps. Allow the tea to steep for 6-8 minutes.
- Remove and discard the tea bags. Transfer the tea carefully into your container with the Blackberry syrup.
- Mix together and allow to cool. Once cooled, give it a taste. If the tea is too sweet for you, add water a little bit at a time until the desired sweetness. Chill overnight in the fridge for best results.
- Serve over ice and garnish with fresh blackberries.
The Forest Is Full Of Mocktails
For more delicious mocktails that you won't be able to get enough of, try our tropical blue Hawaiian, mango mule, or sparkling blood orange mocktail. If you're making drinks for two on a romantic evening with your significant other, I recommend a beautiful, seductive, red raspberry mocktail - The Vow. If you're in the mood for something creamy, try this Bushwacker mocktail or Chai White Russian with chai simple syrup.
If you have had simple syrup at the back of the fridge and do not know whether it's still safe to use, see my guide on whether the simple syrup has gone bad. If it has, see my easy, simple syrup recipe or substitutes to use.
Appetizers to Enjoy with Your Mocktail
Everyone knows I love having a dip option whenever I can, which is why I can't stop myself from serving my roasted beet hummus, canned chickpea, roasted carrot dip, or baked feta dip alongside this blackberry tea to watch the faces around the dinner table light up in anticipation. Besides its visual appeal, this hummus is equally healthy and delicious. Serve alongside cheese curds, baked butternut squash chips, or air fryer plantain chips.
When I serve my blackberry tea as part of dessert, I love having a platter of different dessert options that everyone can try and share their thoughts about! For fall-themed desserts, I love these pumpkin spice bars and chocolate covered stuffed dates. Over Christmas, I love making white chocolate bark with cranberries and pistachios or chocolate marshmallow treats. They are always adores, so you can't go wrong with them!
