Raspberry Mint Iced Tea
This pretty drink takes me back to summers as a kid, enjoying late nights chasing down fireflies, or selling iced tea (or lemonade) from a makeshift stand to passing neighbors and friends.
While it’s a bit more sophisticated than the overly sweetened sip we used to peddle (ahem), this fresh and fragrant version is beautiful, refreshing and completely thirst-quenching!
For more thirst-quenching goodness, try my Peach-Raspberry Iced Tea.
