Boil the Water: Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot.
Steep the Tea: When the water reaches a boil, take it off the heat. Add the raspberry leaves or tea bags and cover the pot. Let the tea steep for 10-15 minutes, depending on how strong you like it.
Strain the Tea: After steeping, strain the tea into a heat-resistant pitcher to remove the leaves or tea bags.
Sweeten (Optional): If you prefer a sweeter tea, stir in honey or maple syrup while the tea is still warm.
Cool and Chill: Allow the tea to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours.
Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled raspberry leaf tea over the ice, and garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. Enjoy!
