RASPBERRY SWEET ICED TEA image

I just found this today on the Taste of Home newsletter which I receive online...I've had raspberry ice tea before, but always from flavored tea bags...this sounds great! You only need a handful of ingredients to make this refreshing drink...And I'll be making it for our picnic on Memorial Day!!!
