Iced Tea with a Twist!

We’re daydreaming today of warm summer afternoons, listening to the laughter of the neighborhood children, bikers peddling past, as we sit sipping iced tea on the porch. We have about eighteen inches of snow in the front yard today, yes in April, but it’s never too early to gather some great summer recipes! Here come three sensational iced tea recipes. Stash these beauties away, or give them a taste test now, in sweet anticipation of hot summer days. You don’t even have to choose your favorite. Set a stunning iced tea bar, mix and match those ingredients, and invite some friends!

Raspberry Iced Tea

Pretty as can be, sweet raspberries transform your tea into a summertime treat. Get this gorgeous recipe from MyFoodBook.com.

Mint Iced Tea

Mint tea is a classic, cool and refreshing summer flavor. Grab this mint iced tea recipe with a hearty tea flavor from myrecipes.com.

Spiked Strawberry Iced Tea

Or, go for the gusto with this adults-only, simply lovely Strawberry Iced Tea from MintedMag.com…

For crystal clear iced tea, be sure to start with good water, and let the tea cool slowly to room temperature before chilling it.

Peaches, berries, citrus… you can’t go wrong. Pick your favorite fruits, add in some fresh herbs, and be sure you have plenty of ice!

Garden Party Ideas

The daffodils have peeked through the surface, and spring is just around the corner. This “Garden Party” complete party kit from the Confetti Couture Boutique will welcome spring to your backyard and make your garden party look like an event planner coached you through every step. It comes with a full sized bunting, a mini bunting, a cupcake kit, a drink kit, a cake pops kit, glassine treat bags with coordinating closures, and tin tie bags with matching tag and pretty pom-poms. All perfectly coordinated and styled for a party of twelve.

Garden Party Decorations

Colorful fabric bunting brings big party color. Matching mini bunting looks so sweet on the cake plate, serving tray, or as front door décor.

Garden Party Treats

Hand painted wraps and earthy wooden sticks bring life to these sweet garden party treats.

Gumballs in a rustic basket add to the garden party fun! We found these darling ceramic mushrooms, and tucked them into the basket with our gumballs.

A garden party isn’t complete without these adorable cups of garden veggies with yummy ranch dip at the bottom of each cup.

This party kit comes with these sweet drink cup embellishments, bringing the idea of mason jars as drinking glasses to new heights!

Garden Party Activities

We filled more cupcake wrappers with a fuzzy buggy craft…

Garden Party Favors

The glassine treat bags from this garden party kit come with sweet toppers and twine that will transform a humble packet of seeds into a precious invitation or a place card for the party table!

Kid sized gardening tools are easy to find, and make for a great party activity. Give the kids some plants, potting soil, and small pots. The potted plants and gardening tools make great party favors, too. It definitely beats a bag of cheap plastic toys that’ll land in the trash can in a matter of minutes!
