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 to a boil.

Once boiling, remove from heat an add the 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.
