This Very Berry Sweet Tea infused with a strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry puree is the perfect compliment to your end of summer festivities!!
Growing up, we always had a pitcher of sweet tea in the fridge at any given moment and it was certainly a must with Sunday Dinner. It was the most refreshing drink EVER and it always made me think of home.
We didn’t really have a porch at my childhood house. It was more of a portico and I remember saying as a young girl…when I grow up, I’m gonna buy a house and drink sweet tea on the porch. Lol!!
HOW TO MAKE SWEET TEA
Not sure where the idea came from but the other day I finally enjoyed sweet tea on our porch with Jackson. 🙂 It was so nostalgic.
I try to have sweet tea available at every Sunday dinner but this week I wanted to make something different so I added a strawberry, raspberry, blueberry and blackberry puree and it was nothing short of DELISH. The whole fam loved this tea and thought it was great!!!
I love experimenting with different fruity flavors in my beverages like this mango lemonade and blackberry lemonade. This Very Berry Sweet Tea is a perfect compliment to your upcoming Labor Day cookouts. If you’re still looking for some menu ideas, here’s a great start! Say Grace and enjoy!!!
