Happy Friday Everyone! Iced Tea is one of my favorite things in the world. No matter what the season, I am a sucker for a delicious iced tea recipe! It just so happens that June is National Iced Tea month. So, this is the perfect excuse to share my recipe for strawberry iced tea! I am so lucky to be teaming up with West Elm Dadeland to bring you a beautiful shoot filled with all of their products to make the perfect Iced Tea Bar this summer. Living in Miami, we know how gruesome the heat can be, so try this recipe out for your next BBQ, pool party, or just a nice weekend refresher to cool you off.
