Perhaps you have had one of those days lately. You know what I mean- it’s hot as can be out there, kids are starting to get bored with summer, laundry piling up and the family is already asking what’s for dinner. On days like these, if you can just have a few minutes to enjoy some alone time with a nice cool indulgence, it can make a world of difference. Enter my easy Blueberry Iced Tea Spritzer.

I found lots of flavor choices of Bigelow Tea at my local Walmart right in the coffee aisle. I settled on Wild Blueberry with Acai and Perfect Peach to create my spritzer. You could really use any of the flavors here as well. With no added sugar or artificial sweeteners they are a great healthy choice for me.

    Looks delicious and refreshing Deborah! We are big tea drinkers so I can’t wait to try this! I love the addition of blueberries to the ice cubes and the juice and sparkling water to make a spritzer! Perfect for a summer cook out or just sippin’ on the deck. Happy Meatless Monday my friend!

    My goodness, this looks refreshing! It’s not even 6AM here yet and I’m already hot– I wish I had a big glass of this right now! 🙂
    Thank you for hosting!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      Thanks! It’s so easy to make and I’ve really been loving how refreshing it is as well. Thanks for linking up today. Have a great day

    OK I’m not known for being creative in the kitchen but I never ever ever would have thought of this and I have 1 million blueberries here. #oops

  14. Hilary says

    I am a HUGE tea person and this sounds amazing! I have been loving iced green tea lately, but that seems so plain compared to this tea!

  16. Chaitali says

    This sounds delicious! I love iced tea but I’ve never tried it with sparkling water. It sounds like a good combination.

  20. Sam @ PancakeWarriors says

    Love that you added blueberries to the ice cubes!! I have been making cold tea lately and I secretly love it! It’s such a fun and refreshing way to break the heat here in Austin!

  24. Kimberly Hatting says

    I love anything involving blueberries! We used to go to a blueberry farm when the kids were little…and I think we ate more blueberries onsite than we actually brought home.

  25. Tricia says

    What a perfect Summer time drink! I never remember to make ice cubes with fruit in them. Thanks for this reminder! I do like Peach tea too. I don’t drink tea as much as my family though they like the old fashioned very sweet tea.
