Grapefruit Mint Iced Tea

Immerse yourself in the taste of summer with our Grapefruit Mint Iced Tea! This refreshing beverage is a delightful blend of tart grapefruit and cooling mint, with the full-bodied flavor of black tea providing the perfect backdrop. Sweetened with natural honey, it's a healthier alternative to store-bought sweetened iced teas. A staple in southern US households, iced tea was historically served sweet, but we've given it a modern, tangy twist!
