Refreshing Iced Tea With Raspberries And Lime
Iced tea is always a favorite in my kitchen once the sun comes out. I enjoy playing with flavors, and this raspberry white tea with lime feels special without being complicated. The raspberries give their natural sweetness, the lime adds freshness, and the rose-scented white tea ties everything together.
I often serve it in a large jug with plenty of ice, so everyone can pour their own glass. It's a drink that looks festive and is so easy to make ahead. That means more time to relax at the table.
And if you are looking for cooling iced tea, you have a page full of drinks here. Like with this Rose Vanilla Iced Tea, Basil Martini Cocktail or a delicious pitcher filled with Infused Water.
