As you may already know from following me here @ CookingWithKimberly.com, I love tea…I am a tea connoisseur of sorts. LOL
When it starts becoming warm outside, I start craving iced tea…The same goodness of my favorite tea, PG Tips, but cold with amazing flavors!
Now, here is my most basic, but so amazing all on it’s own, Southern-Style Sweet Brewed Iced Tea Recipe, if you want to start off slowly with the flavors.
Today, I am making my very first iced tea pitcher this season. It’s nice and warm outside and I’m so excited to share this with you all.
