We are winding up here in the US for barbecue time! I am so excited to get back outside and make memories by spending time with my family and friends enjoying great food and drink. One thing hard about picnics is balancing all the tasty food with still taking care of our health. We often take in so many thoughtless calories through the beverages we drink. By using a base of tea, I have the strong and beautiful summer flavors of berries, without the calories and sugar. I want to keep it fun and exciting though, so I put a new twist on an old barbecue favorite with my family-friendly berry sangria!

All year-long I drink the teas from the family-owned, US-based company, Bigelow. Drinking their teas makes me feel good, because they taste great, but I also know that I am supporting a good company and family. They have such a variety, as seen above at my local Walmart, that I have my favorites for every season and occasion. I have even been able to explore their tea plantation in Charleston, South Carolina. Do you know what tea looks like as it grows and the difference between types of teas? Read on to find out of for more about that experience.
I hope you have a great summer and enjoy the tea! What is your favorite Bigelow flavor to transform into an ice tea? You can use the first 3 steps above to make any flavor into an awesome ice tea. Let me know how it turns out in the comments. You can check out more of my Bigelow recipes here or find out more about how you can #TeaProudly on Bigelow’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
You make that tea look good and appetizing! Never thought I could add white grape juice and fruits in it. I just add hot water and that’s it. lol. I usually drink Mint Tea but that Red Raspberry looks good!
Mint iced tea with cucumber could be quite nice and refreshing!
Nice to know for the first time about this healthy tea. It looks truly very refreshing and perfect for summer. Saving the recipe, cool one!! 🙂
Thank you, Nafisa.
What an interesting idea to make sangria from tea and juice! I’ve always thought sangria can only be done with wine. Good to know it can also be done this way. Looks fantastic!
This drink looks so refreshing! Thank you for sharing! I am bookmarking it to try out the recipe 🙂
this is another delicious meal to try. thanks for sharing your recipe. I will surely try it for my kid.
