Refreshing and so delicious. The perfect ice tea with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy!
When I lived in Atlanta many years ago, I was invited to a friends house for lunch. She served the most refreshing iced tea I had ever had. It was sweet but not too sweet and I knew it didn’t just taste like sugar sweetened. Once she told me what was in the tea, I tasted the honey and asked her for the recipe. Now, I make this regularly and if raspberries are not in season, I use frozen ones. Which, by the way, work even better. You will need less ice. This recipe is so easy to prepare and so refreshingly delightful. Enjoy anytime of year, especially on a warm day. Adjust the honey to your sweet liking. There are many types of honey out there that will give the tea a nice flavor. Find your favorites.
