I’m back at it with the sweet tea! This time with a simple frozen treat that will have you rethinking how you drink, I mean eat, your sweet tea. A friend of mine actually posted this recipe on Facebook one day and I immediately went and bookmarked it and knew I’d be making it asap. It’s so easy to make and really doesn’t differ fro preparing sweet tea. All you have to do is set aside a day when you are home so that you can visit the freezer every 20 minutes or so, but it’s so worth it.
This is perfect for a hot day. You can enjoy it as a frozen treat, but if it melts then you have yourself a wonderful beverage as well. I’m pretty tempted to keep this in the house at all times since it’s great either way. The recipe calls for black tea bags, but being from the south I used Luzianne tea. If you have access to those than go ahead, I have it brought up from South Carolina by mom.

I’m loving all the frozen treats you’re doing Maeghan! This looks amazing – do you think it would work with flavored teas also?

I remember my childhood days when my sister and I were making choc granita layered with whip cream. Not quite as healthy as your suggestion, but it was the perfect frozen treat for summer. Might try your version though. Thanks
