Easy Instant Pot Raspberry Iced Tea
I have a classic Raspberry Iced Tea that I make on the stove. After I have tried Instant Pot tea, I knew I had to try my hand at Raspberry! I have to say the Instant Pot did a stupendous job at getting that raspberry flavor to blend with the tea nicely. If you are a tea fanatic, you will jump for joy over this recipe.
What is raspberry iced tea made of?
You use tea, water, and raspberries. As the tea steeps in the Instant Pot, the raspberries are breaking down and releasing the sweetness into the tea. As you sip away, you have the flavors of a bold tea with refreshing raspberry flavor in every swallow.
What tea bags do you use for Instant Pot raspberry tea
Feel free to use your favorite tea bags. Just make sure it is an iced tea, tea bag. I wouldn’t reach flavored tea since you are flavoring it with raspberry. You can always try to make other flavors of tea bags in the Instant Pot.
How to store Instant Pot raspberry tea
Pour your tea into a pitcher and toss in the fridge. Store in the fridge for 4-5 days, and enjoy it when you want. Feel free to slice some lemons and pair with the tea, or even lime!
How much sugar is in Instant Pot Raspberry Tea
Here is the thing about Instant Pot tea; you can adjust the sweetness to fit your tastebuds. If you find this is too sweet, reduce the sugar. Or if it isn’t sweet enough, then add more.
Tea is something that is all about preference so make sure to play with the recipe to get it to fit your exact flavor needs.

will black loose tea work in place of tea bags since the bags and strings are removed anyway?
I bet it will work fine. Just give it a good straining when you are done.
Does she mean remove the tea bag itself or just the outer paper that holds the teabags that are individually wrapped? I thought the latter.
No, I am so sorry, just remove the paper that holds the teabags, and leave the string on if you need to hold your teabags together.
Can you use a regular black tea bag or does it have to be for cold tea bags only?
regular is fine 🙂
I’m too lazy for two instant pot recipes in one… so I just added the raspberries in with the tea bags and did it all at once (split the difference and did it for three minutes). It turned out great – really delicious. Thanks for this one! 🙂
