Iced Tea for Summer


As we get closer to summer there will be plenty of hot days when having a tall glass of iced tea will seem like a good idea. I like iced raspberry lemon tea, or iced peach tea. You can make iced tea with just about any kind of tea, though some taste teas are better than others. I like to sit out on my patio and sip iced tea while reading  a good book. Herbal teas are available on the internet.  Here is one of my favorite recipes for iced tea.

Raspberry Lemon Tea

2 teabags of lemon tea
2 teabags of wild raspberry tea
boiling water
Sweetener as desired (some suggested sweeteners: honey, agave, stevia, or real sugar if you prefer it)

Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add tea bags and steep for ten minutes. Add sweetener to taste. Pour into a pitcher and store in the refrigerator until cool. Add ice cubes if desired. Pour out into glasses and enjoy! Serves about 2 people. Boil more water and add additional tea bags when you steep the tea if you want a larger recipe to serve more people.
