Let’s begin with the basics. An iced tea or lemonade pitcher is a timeless beverage that is enjoyed by all and, most importantly, is simple to prepare. Yes, you could simply purchase pre-made items from the store, but what fun would that be? There’s never anything better than homemade. Plus, you can experiment with different recipes if you prepare them at home. You could mix the two into an Arnold Palmer, or add fruit (try out watermelon or strawberry lemonade) or sweetened condensed milk (try iced tea or whipped lemonade). Try these non-alcoholic drink recipes for a change, it’s a bet you won’t even miss the booze.

The tartness that blackberries bring, which accentuates the lime so well, adores the small seed particles that give your drink texture as well.
