You Can’t Have a Tea Party without Tea

September 23, 2011

Yesterday I shared a recipe for some lovely ‘tea time sandwiches’ that I plan to serve at my ‘tea party’. But what’s a great southern tea party, without well, tea.

I am not a big hot tea drinker (all those different types and flavors just baffle me) but Eric does like his ice tea (sweet of course). And his favorite ice tea drink? An Arnold Palmer (half sweet tea half lemonade).

So why not add some other juices as well? Cranberry and orange pair beautifully making this tea concoction perfect ice tea for a fall/winter celebration (especially since we won’t have ‘hot tea’ weather for many more months to come). So sip up!

Note: This recipe makes a lot but could be doubled to make more and served in a punch bowl at a party.
