"Wonderful non-alcoholic summer drink, perfect for bbqs and get togethers. I've been making this since it came out in Bon Appetit in the late 90s. Cooking time includes chilling time."

This was a lovely glass of goodness. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe plannermom. We enjoyed it very much. The iced tea was so flavorful, spicy, tart, tangy and slightly sweet. You could taste the cranberry/raspberry and black currant mingled with the tea. Made for My 3 Chefs 2013

<p>I'm a pretty busy gal. I've got a wonderful husband and two little girls. We share our home with wonderful dogs, two Weimaraners, a Boxer and a French Bulldog. I work full-time outside of the home and then come home to tons of hobbies, one of them being cooking. <br />I love baking and really want to get better at it. I'm also hoping to get more organized during dinner time so I'm not at a loss when it gets to be dinner time. <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
