We love making fun Summer Mocktail recipes at my house during the hot summer months. Tea is a favorite to mix with different flavors like fresh fruit!
Top Chef judge Gail Simmons has created some new recipes to help Pure Leaf Iced Tea kick off its Love of Leaves campaign at its luncheon in NYC. In addition, every social engagement from fans on Pure Leaf’s Facebook or Tumblr, and use of the #loveofleaves hashtag on Instagram and Twitter, Pure Leaf will donate $1 to Wholesome Wave, an organization focused on increasing access to local foods in underserved communities.
This Bumbleberry Tea recipe is a cool and refreshing treat for a hot summer day. Perfect for making at home, or serving at your summer parties!
