Sooo good! We added lemonade to it too. About 1/3 of a Simply Lemonade jug.
I made this for me to drink during the Super Bowl. It was great. I will be making this a lot during the summer.
I am not a big fan of iced tea but this was simply delicious
I love berry tea i am planning to serve this tee in my office party celebration at empower(http://www.empowerbpo.com)
i hope ever one enjoy this tea.

I’m not a huge fan of berry tea but needed a simple ice tea recipe for a bridal shower. It was much better than I was expecting although I only added about half of the simple syrup, taste testing as I went so not to make it too sweet.
i made this for my mom and me i almost drankthe whole picture
The vanilla simple syrup is the star of this drink, it absolutely pops!
Do not make a mistake I did and add too much lime, follow the quantities exactly and the flavor will be great.

Not enough tea flavor and there wasn’t enough sugar in the simple syrup. You need to really love drinking sweet berries to enjoy this.
This MayDay cake is really delicious. We used a angel food cake instead of a yellow cake, and it sort of worked the same. It did take a long time to get all them ribbons where they needed to be, and I couldn’t find edible flowers or sprinkles for the ice cream sandwiches that went with them. Those kids were so dear, dancing around that MayPole. This was a great cake idea. Another great semmi-home-made dessert!
This tea is amazingly good! Will make all summer.
