Treat Guests to Fruit Filled Jars of Summer Sun Iced Tea

by

summertime-sun-tea

My husband and I have been trying to kick the soda habit, which means we’ve upped our tea consumption considerably. The next time we have guests over, I want to try the summertime sun tea recipe from Thirsty for Tea.

I love the colors of the fresh fruit in her iced tea-filled mason jars! In fact, I think these are pretty enough that even my soda-obsessed nine-year-old might be enticed to try one. The mason jars would also be ideal for picnics, BBQs, and other outdoor parties, since they can be sealed up to keep bugs from getting in your drink.
