Instructions

Prepare the Cherry Syrup: In a saucepan, combine frozen cherries, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat until cherries soften and juices release. Mash gently and cook until slightly thickened.
Strain the Syrup: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to separate syrup from solids. Press to extract liquid.
Flavor the Syrup: Stir in lemon juice and extracts (vanilla, butter, cake batter) into the cooled syrup.
Mix with Tea: In a pitcher, combine 2 cups cold tea with 4 tablespoons cherry syrup; adjust sweetness if desired.
Serve: Pour over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh cherries.
