Boston Iced Tea


                I have the most refreshing and incredibly easy beverage to share with you today.
                It truly doesn't even require a recipe and boy is it good. In these hot and humid
                days of Summer you deserve to sit back and put your feet up and relax. Growing
                up in the Boston area I have had a long love of anything cranberry. Still to this
                day I love to drink cranberry juice and ginger ale. So good. This is a Summer
                staple.


                                                                       Boston Iced Tea

                                                                       64 oz of Cran Raspberry juice
                                                                       58 oz of Sweet Tea or your favorite
                                                                       lemon slices
                                                                       fresh mint
                                                                       ice cubes

                  1) In a large pitcher pour in cranberry juice, tea and lemon slices. Serve over
                  ice in cups and garnish with fresh mint.

                  Note - In case you don't want to mix a big batch. You can make this by the cup
                  and just mix equal parts iced tea and cranberry juice. Always serve over ice.


                               Look at that beautiful color. I can't wait for you to try this.

    This is so gorgeous, Val! Icy cold and refreshing, and I love the name! I lived in Boston for years and can vouch for cranberry drinks being a big hit. I've gotta try this here in Texas!
