What do you need for Lime Rose Iced Tea?
To prepare this Rose Lime Iced Tea, you require the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- White tea - White tea with a hint of rose flavor. If you don't have it, replace it with white tea and add one teaspoon of rose water.
- Raspberries - Sweet, soft, and wonderfully juicy. Do not wash them; at most, rub them clean with a damp piece of paper. Remove any leaves or stems by hand.
- Lime - Juice and zest. Gives a delicious fresh taste to the iced tea.
- Sugar - For sweetening the tea.
How to prepare Raspberry Rose Iced Tea
You can find a printable recipe with a detailed description at the bottom of this blog.
- Bring the water to a boil and turn off the heat. Place the tea bags in the water and let them steep for 5 minutes.
- Remove the bags, do not squeeze them, and add the sugar. Stir until dissolved.
- Now also add the lime juice and grater to the tea. Place in the fridge to get cold.
- Put in a glass jug and add ice cubes. Top with fresh raspberries and rose petals. Let it season for another hour and serve.
Tips, Substitutions, and Variations
- Replace the raspberries with strawberries or berries.
- Add two teaspoons of rose water to the iced tea for a more intense rose flavor.
- Turn off the heat before you brew the tea. Even better is to let the water cool down to 185 °F (85 °C). That way, you get fewer problems with tannins, which cause the bitter taste.
- A second tip against the bitter taste is removing the tea bags from the water but not squeezing them.
- Do you like less sweet iced tea? Add four tablespoons of sugar and taste before adding the rest.
- Do you want an extra fresh taste? Add some sprigs of mint to the iced tea (and it also looks beautiful).

- Refrigerator - Keep the iced tea covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. It is even better to store it airtight, so it does not take over odors from the other ingredients in the refrigerator.
- Freezer - You can freeze iced tea in a sealed box without garnish. If you have already added garnish, strain it out beforehand. This way, the rose lime iced tea will stay suitable for up to 2 months. Leave enough space (about ½ inch, 1 cm) in the box, as the iced tea will expand when it freezes. Then, let the iced tea thaw in the refrigerator.
