Prep: 15 min. Cook: 45 min. + chilling

A bumper crop of rhubarb and mint from my garden was the inspiration for this thirst-quenching pick-me-up. Raspberries deepen the tea's vibrant red color. A pitcher-full will look so pretty on your table. —Laurie Bock, Lynden, Washington
Ingredients:
• 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• 2 packages (3/4 ounce each) fresh mint leaves
• 3 quarts water
• 4 black tea bags
• 2 cups sugar
• 12 mint sprigs
Directions:
1. In a 6-qt. stockpot, combine rhubarb, raspberries, mint and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Add tea bags; steep, covered, 3-5 minutes according to taste.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain tea, discarding tea bags and pulp. Stir in sugar until dissolved; cool slightly. Transfer to a pitcher; refrigerate until cooled completely. Serve over ice with mint sprigs.
