This past weekend was filled with sunny days and warm evenings – the perfect weather for relaxing patios + good food + great friends. We whipped up this rich and sweet cocktail. It is as decadent in its beautiful cherry red colour as it is in its scrumptious flavours.
We made ours with our favourite iced tea contraption, Flash Chill which you can find in the boutique here. For extra tips on making iced tea using loose leaf you can refer to our blog post here.
Don’t let the beautiful colour fool you into believing it is too precious to drink. You can always make another …
