Blueberry Jasmine Iced Tea

Jasmin tea is the most popular scented tea in China. It has a predominantly green tea base, with white and black tea added, plus jasmine blossoms for the aroma. I’m personally not a fan of hot drinks, but I sure do like iced ones. Since I’ve been on this homemade flavored tea kick, I decided to make a blueberry syrup and add it to iced jasmine tea. This couldn’t of turned out more excellent. After you make this the first time, you’ll be drinking this by the gallons, weekly. It is that good.
