Late summer is berry-picking season in many parts of the South – a time to serve delicious iced teas and tea cocktails made with the ripest and sweetest berries in the bucket. Each of these refreshing blackberry tea recipes can be crafted with either ripe or frozen blackberries, making them the perfect iced-tea creations to serve by the glass or the gallon for afternoons on the porch, lawn parties and luncheons, and anytime you want to relax with family and friends and watch the world go by.
Make a Southern summer day more delicious with a party-size gallon of Blackberry Iced Tea, sweetened with homemade blackberry syrup and garnished with fresh blackberries.
Make this berrylicious iced hibiscus tea a few hours ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend before pouring into glasses over ice. If fresh berries aren’t available, frozen blackberries will do.
Sweet tea and berries add a delicious hint of summer to the Southern version of a classic Moscow mule cocktail. Light enough for a lunch cocktail and great anytime on a hot day.
