Raspberry Lemonade Iced Tea – A homemade mix of fresh raspberry, lemonade and ice tea for a cool refreshing spring or summer drink. Perfect for brunch or picnics. Make this fruity fresh drink today!
I’ve had the hankering for raspberries for a while now. They’re so utterly expensive still because we are not in season here in Pennsylvania yet. Boo-hoo. But alas I couldn’t take it anymore. I sucked it up and bought some (for garnish and for snacking.)
Then this delicious Raspberry Lemonade Iced Tea drink came about because I couldn’t stop looking at my beautiful raspberries. I also couldn’t decide what would be the best way to use them. I know. There are many.
The beauty of this drink is that it relies on frozen lemonade and frozen raspberries. Both easily attainable even when they’re not in season. This is definitely going to be on my A-list summer drink list. It was so refreshing and delicious. I can’t even begin to tell you. So just try it for yourself.
If you’re coming over to swim I can’t help give you a pool. Sorry! But I can offer you a delicious drink to cool you down.
I’m so excited that the weather here is finally warm. Yesterday was mid-80s and gorgeous. I was wearing a sundress and sandals and it felt so good. I could actually walk of my house without a jacket. I could feel the grass beneath my feet. Such beauty.
Today it’s cooling down a bit but I’m still super uber happy about this May weather. Hope it’s great in your neck of the woods too.
Have a great one!
Til we meet and eat again,

Thanks for pinning Trish! It is truly refreshing. I may kick back a little too long with this drink in hand. 🙂
I wish they were in season year round! We’re luckier here in CA, but they’re still SO expensive! Love this iced tea!
Thanks Dorothy! Let me know when you find them cheap and you can just mail me some. 😉 I’d love to visit Cali some day! Thanks for stopping by!
I love fun fruit lemonade infusions! And fun fruit iced tea infusions! So this is going to be my drink of summer.
This drink looks soooo refreshing! I love the flavors you used! I hate how expensive fresh berries can be – if they are ever on sale, I go wild and buy so many!!
