In a smaller or medium saucepan, combine blackberries with one cup of cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer. Crush the blackberries with a fork or potato masher to bring out as much of the juice as you can.

Continue simmering the blackberries for 5-7 minutes, until the juice is dark and the blackberries are broken down.

Remove the blackberry juice from the heat and stir in the honey and lemon juice. Continue stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. 

Strain the blackberry syrup through a fine mesh strainer, using a spoon to push as much of the pulp through as you can. Discard the seeds. Set the syrup aside to cool.

Next, make your tea. In a quart jar, combine tea bags and hot water and allow to steep for 3-5 minutes, or according to your tea package.

Discard tea bags and allow the tea to cool.

Once the blackberry syrup and the tea have cooled to room temperature, you can assemble your tea.

Serve in glasses with fresh ice and a mint leaf to garnish.
