I went to a bridesmaid luncheon once and they served this Raspberry Iced Tea with Quiche Lorraine and a spring mix green salad. It was all so light and refreshing. It was the perfect combination.

This drink is so yummy for for parties, cookouts, bridal showers and more. However, there is no need to wait for a special occasion to make this. I love to keep a pitcher of this in the fridge during the week. It’s so light and refreshing and not heavy like some drinks.

Raspberry Iced Tea is really pretty in abeverage dispensers. I like to put a few extra raspberries on top to float around. They just looks so pretty.

One tip is to freeze a few extra raspberries and put them in the dispenser. Not only does it look great but it serves as ice cubes.

I also have aglass pitcherthat I use when I’m making this at home for us or just a simple get together.
