Ingredients:
1 cup frozen pitted cherries
⅓ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter extract
½ teaspoon cake batter extract (optional)
2 cups Gold Peak Unsweetened Black Tea
4 tablespoons cherry pie syrup
Fresh cherries for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine frozen cherries, sugar, water, and salt. Heat over medium, mashing cherries as they soften.
2. Cook until the liquid thickens slightly. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing to release all juice; discard solids.
3. While still warm, stir in lemon juice, vanilla extract, butter extract, and optional cake batter extract. Let the syrup cool completely.
4. In a clear glass pitcher, mix the cherry pie syrup with cold black tea.
5. Serve over ice and garnish with fresh cherries.
