An ideal summer drink, an iced tea spritzer is as refreshing as a commercial soft drink. By making your own beverage, you control the strength and sweetness. With a few ingredients on hand, you can quickly make the beverage for guests or yourself. Try herbal and fruit teas to make additional flavors without caffeine.
