*From our weekly series: The Sunday Steep*

As the weather warms, it can be lovely to have a tea recipe with a bit of pep, as well as one that will still taste delicious after traveling along on a hike or a picnic! This one is great for sipping hot, but it also goes well in one of our [Tea-to-Go glass infusers](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/tea_tool/infusers.php#tt_ti_tea_gi). The best part is that it won't get bitter as it steeps, but instead will get somewhat sweeter! It is also yummy over ice...

## Sweet & Spicy Tea Recipe with Licorice Root

- 1 tsp. organic [Blackberry Leaf](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/b.php)
- 1 tsp. organic [Bilberry Fruit](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/b.php), dried
- 1-3 organic [Licorice Root slices ](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/l.php)or 1 teaspoon organic [Licorice Root](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/l.php)
- ½ tsp. organic [Lemongrass](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/bulkherb/l.php)

Scoop all ingredients into a tea infuser or tea bag, or put into one of the [Tea-to-Go glass tea infusers](https://www.mountainroseherbs.com/tea_tool/infusers.php#tt_ti_tea_gi).  Pour boiling water over and let steep for 4-5 minutes.  If you are taking it along, just pour the boiling water over, allow to cool for a few minutes, and then screw on the strainer and lid. This makes enough for one cup, but feel free to multiply for a full pot. Enjoy!
