This “sangria” is cool, colorful, and effortlessly refreshing. It combines the bold flavor of juicy blackberries with fresh herbs and tea for a drink that’s as beautiful as it is brain-friendly. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ, lounging on the patio, or just looking for a smarter seasonal sip, this is the perfect summer beverage to enjoy under the sun. You can easily use rooibos or a fruity tea, such as peach or raspberry, for an alcohol-free brain beverage.
Beyond the flavor, this drink is packed with powerful nutrients. Blackberries deliver anthocyanins and quercetin, antioxidants shown to enhance memory, protect neurons from oxidative stress, and improve blood flow to the brain. A drizzle of honey adds natural sweetness and a dose of apigenin, which helps with improved mood and support for getting deeper, more restful sleep. And depending on your tea choice, whether green or black, you’ll also be getting catechins for inflammation control and L-theanine to promote calm, focus, and mental clarity.
