- Strain the mixture into a pitcher to remove the petals.
Serve this tea in glasses filled with ice. If you like, stir in a sweetener such as honey, agave, or maple syrup to taste. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and raspberries, and enjoy!
The Third way is sun tea

- Cover with a lid and place in the sun for a few hours until a deep vibrant red color appears.

The last method is more attractive
