Actually… I call this Razorback Tea – one of my favorite tailgate drinks! Why? Because it is thirst quenching-ly delicious and a perfect addition to any Tailgate. Instead of steeping the tea bags in water… you steep it in a sweet and tart raspberry water over the stove. It will turn any red tailgate into a party in no time!

Due to COVID – we can’t tailgate this year. If you are reading this and it’s not 2020, then you are most likely reminiscing to what how terrible it was not to walk up and down tailgate row, seeing families, kids, and college students dressed up and tossing bean bags with cups in their hand and grilling burgers in the tent.

I completely feel you! But even though we can’t tailgate at the game, you can always home-gate! And whether you are at the game or at home, or maybe you aren’t even watching a game and you just want a fun drink for girls’ night – this is the drink for you!
One of the best things about this drink is that it has pantry staples in it. lemon juice, tea bags, and frozen raspberries!
If you don’t keep frozen fruit in your freezer… you need to start! It is a great staple to have for smoothies, the random cobbler, and this iced tea!
There are three basic steps:
- Boil water, sugar and raspberries together until sugar is dissolved.
- Steep tea bags in the water for 10-15 minutes
- Pour the mixture through a strainer and serve with ice, fresh raspberries, lemons or mint!
