Description

Instant Pot Blackberry Ice Tea -- As the sun's warmth envelops your surroundings, there's no better way to beat the heat than with a glass of homemade iced tea infused with the essence of ripe blackberries.

Ingredients 

  • 4 cups water
  • 4 black tea bags, or your preferred tea
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries, or frozen blackberries

Instructions

  • Plug in your Instant Pot and press the "Sauté" button. Adjust the heat level to "More" for faster heating.
  • Pour the water into the Instant Pot and add the black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep in the hot water for about 5 minutes. You can adjust the steeping time to your preferred tea strength.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar until it completely dissolves. Adjust the sugar quantity to your desired sweetness.
  • Gently add the blackberries to the tea mixture. You can use fresh or frozen blackberries.
  • Close the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the steam release valve is in the "Sealing" position. Cancel the "Sauté" mode. Press the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" button and set the timer for 1 minute on high pressure.
  • Once the pressure cooking cycle is complete, allow for a natural release for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully perform a quick release by turning the steam release valve to the "Venting" position.
  • Open the Instant Pot lid and use a fine mesh strainer to strain the blackberry tea into a pitcher, removing the blackberry pulp. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
  • Once the tea has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 1 hour or until chilled.
  • Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled blackberry ice tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
  • Serve your homemade Blackberry Ice Tea and savor the refreshing and fruity flavors.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot Pressure Cooker, or Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker
