Enough with the tea, right? Well, I can't help it! I have been wanting to make iced tea since it's been getting warmer (even though it did rain last night). At family functions, my grandma always makes iced tea, or "sun tea", for her girls, as she so kindly refers to me and my cousin. I don't think anything could beat her tea, but I found some recipes that would be fabulous to try:
Summer Iced Tea. This combines eight herbal teas, such as lemon and hibiscus, with a black tea, such as Earl Grey. Yum!
Lemony Spiked Sweet Tea. Tea spiked with rum. Lemon iced tea sounds so good by itself, I am not sure about the rum!
Raspberry Rosehip Iced Tea. An interesting mixture combining rosehips, raisins, raspberry leaves, and raspberry or cherry juice, and orange juice.
Hibiscus Mint Iced Tea. Hibiscus tea, mint leaves, and apple juice.Does anyone else make iced tea in the summer? Any special recipes?

Am not too keen on ice tea, but I make my own summer drink which is frsh water melon juice with grated ginger and mint from the garden. When in the tropics I drink fresh coconut water, yummy;-)
I love sun tea! But my summer thing is spa water - just fill up a pitcher with distilled water and add sliced lemons, cucumbers and a stalk or two of rosemary - soooo refreshing! XO!
i normally don't drink iced tea but these recipes look so yummy. i just might start. :)
Wow these all sound delicious! I don't usually make it at home because I'll drink waaay too much of it :)
