Blackberry Tea

I made some blackberry tea today from some frozen berries picked over a month ago. The berries really lose some of their coloring in the freezer. I mashed the berries, added the tea, and let it set for an hour.
Then I strained the tea and added sugar and water. This is an excellent recipe to use.
