Ingredients

Makes 8 cups (one quart) of tea and 8 swizzle sticks

4 cups boiling water

2 Tablespoons sugar

8 bags raspberry black tea

Two 3-by-1/2-inch pieces lemon peel

1 cinnamon stick

4 cored pineapple rings, sliced 1/2 inch thick, cut into 6 pieces, or canned pineapple rings packed in water or their own juice, 24 pieces total

16 fresh raspberries

4 cups water, ice cold

Optional

2 Tablespoons sugar, for sweeter tea

1/4 cup fresh mint or lemon balm leaves for garnish

Directions

Add sugar to 4 cups of boiling water in a saucepot and stir until dissolved.

Place tea bags, lemon peel and cinnamon stick in a 4-cup glass measuring cup and carefully add the hot water with dissolved sugar from Step 1. Cover the measuring cup loosely with Saran™ Premium Wrap and let tea steep for 7-10 minutes. Uncover, remove the tea bags and let the beverage cool completely. Once cooled, remove the lemon peel and cinnamon stick and refrigerate tea until ready to use.

While tea is steeping, spear 3 pieces of pineapple on each skewer, alternating with 2 raspberries (see photo). Wrap skewers in Saran™ Premium Wrap, arrange them on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until frozen, at least 3 hours. Or freeze the swizzle sticks inside a Ziploc® Brand Double Guard® Freezer Bag with the Double Zipper Seal.

When ready to serve, mix the chilled iced-tea mixture with 4 cups of ice-cold water in a 2-quart pitcher. Add the frozen swizzle sticks to glasses immediately before serving.

Chef's Note: How to get 4 cups of instant ice-cold water fast? Add ice cubes to 2 cups cold water until the water level measures 4 cups. For a different taste, freeze melon balls on your skewers.
