There’s nothing more refreshing than a glass of iced tea after a long day. We like to mix up a big batch on the weekend while going about our usual weekend tasks. It’s ready in an hour, but sometimes we let it sit and steep longer.
We love this recipe for sun tea because it combines our love for infused water with our love for tea. The peaches and blueberries sit in the tea while the sun “works its magic.” The addition of lemon and mint makes this drink extra tasty and bright, and since it can be made ahead of time, it’s perfect for parties, picnics and camping trips. Mix up a batch of our infused sun tea the next time you want a refreshing drink to cool down those warm summer nights.
