I am a tea drinker so we usually keep boxes of various teas at home. My usual morning tea would be Earl Grey with milk and sugar, and I do not care if the proper way is to drink it with lemon, which I also do occasionally, but that is how I like my morning tea 😉 . My second fave kind of tea is the red tea which is a mixture of various red fruits, berries and flowers...yes flowers. The one I have at home is a combination of hibiscus, rose hips, apples, and oranges. But other kinds of red tea like the four or five fruit tea would also be perfect.  I like its zesty, fruity taste although I usually add some sugar or honey whether I drink it hot or cold.      

But since it is too hot for a hot drink, I used my red tea to make this super refreshing Red Iced Tea with mint to cool us down. I used two kinds of mint just because we have them growing in the garden: spearmint and peppermint, but any of the two would do, I have to admit, however, I liked the spearmint a little better. The tiny black pearls you see at the bottom are blackcurrants, also from my garden, but not really necessary, they look nice though.        Stay cool and refreshed this summer with this homemade red iced tea with mint . | www.foxyfolksy.com
