 Try my unique Blackberry Sage Iced Tea recipe, featuring juicy
 blackberries, fragrant sage, and a splash of lemon, all sweetened with
 natural maple syrup. This unique and refreshing beverage is perfect
 for cooling off on warm days!

 Bring the water to a simmer in a medium saucepan, turn off the heat,
 and steep the sage leaves for about 5 minutes to release the flavors.

 Add the blackberries to the sage-infused water. Return to a simmer,
 then remove from heat and gently mash the blackberries to release
 their juices and flavor. Stir in the maple syrup, adjusting the
 amount based on your desired sweetness.

 Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the
 liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the
 solids to extract all the juices. Discard the solids.

 Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to add a refreshing citrusy
 kick.

 Refrigerate the tea until it is thoroughly chilled, at least 1-2
 hours.

 Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice.
 You can also add some blackberries to each glass. Garnish with sage
 leaves and/or a slice of lemon for an extra touch of elegance. Enjoy!
