Combining the tanginess of oranges, the sweetness of raspberries, the subtlety of apple juice, and the freshness of spearmint, this iced tea is not only flavorful but also packed with vitamins and antioxidants. Below is a simple guide on how to prepare this invigorating drink.

Ingredients:

3 oranges
450g
1/3 cup apple juice
72g
1 cup raspberries
150g
1 tbsp parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oranges:
- Peel the oranges and divide them into segments. Remove any seeds if necessary.

2. Juice the Oranges:
- Place the orange segments in a blender or juicer and blend until smooth. If you prefer a pulp-free texture, you can strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
3. Combine Juices:
- In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice with the apple juice.
4. Add Raspberries:
- Wash the raspberries thoroughly. Add them to the pitcher with the juice mixture.
- Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the raspberries to release their juices into the mixture.
5. Incorporate Mint:
- Wash the spearmint leaves and add them to the pitcher. You can either leave them whole for a subtle flavor or bruise them slightly by rubbing them between your fingers before adding them to the mix to release more of the minty aroma and flavor.
6. Mix Thoroughly:
- Stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors.
7. Chill:
- Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and to chill the drink.
8. Serve:
- Before serving, give the mixture a good stir.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the iced tea over the ice.
- Garnish each glass with a few extra raspberries and a sprig of mint if desired.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Raspberry, Mint, and Orange Iced Tea!

Tips:

- For a stronger mint flavor, gently crush the mint leaves before adding them to the tea.

- To enhance the raspberry flavor, you can muddle the raspberries slightly before adding them.

- Chill the tea in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together more effectively.
