Growing up with a (very) Texan mother, ice tea played a major role in my childhood summers. And while I no longer have a front porch on which to enjoy this ice cool beverage, I’ve still found a plethora of ways in which to enjoy it. We’ll teach you how to cold-brew, make the best Arnold Palmers, and elevate sweet tea to its rightful pedestal. Come and enjoy a semi-traditional night of iced teas and finger sandwiches. You’ll leave with a full stomach, and enough iced tea recipes to get you through the summer.
Hope to see you there!
