Sharing is caring!

This sangria recipe with iced tea is your new go-to summer entertaining recipe! It’s refreshing and fruity and won’t make you sloppy drunk! 

You know those nights when you want a drink, but you don’t want that hangover the next day? This is the perfect solution. There isn’t very much alcohol in them. But there is just enough so you know you are drinking. And all the fresh fruit elevates it to super fun status. 

The Perfect Day Drink

Day drinking is the ultimate in relaxation. If you can sit down and enjoy a cocktail, in the middle of the day, that means your obligations have been met and you are off the clock for a little while. Unfortunately for me, day drinking also means that I want to take a nap. This sangria recipe with iced tea is the perfect way to indulge in some afternoon sipping without getting sloppy and tired.

How to Make Iced Tea Sangria

Other sangria recipes are mostly wine and sometimes they’ll throw in some brandy or other liquor. In this case, the wine is actually diluted a bit by the addition of the iced tea. This is why it’s perfect for afternoon imbibing.

It still has all your favorite fruit flavors, but it also has the refreshing taste of iced tea. And you’re still drinking wine but about half the amount than you usually would with a glass of regular sangria. I’m fairly addicted to iced tea when the weather warms up. But only black tea. Green tea tastes like dirt. It’s a little like a spritzer, but not. 

Ingredients

There are just a few simple ingredients in this iced tea sangria recipe: 

• White wine
• Black tea
• Lemon 
• Lime
• Strawberries

Directions

Stirring and making this fun drink couldn’t be any easier either! 

1. Pour wine and tea together

This iced tea sangria is super simple to make. The first step is to mix a jar of white wine with a jar of black tea in one big pitcher. Give it a really nice stir so it’s all combined. 

2. Add Fruit

Then, you just add some cut up fruit and let it sit for a few hours so the fruit flavor can really shine through. Limes and lemons are the perfect fruit since they pair really nicely with iced tea, but of course, you can’t go wrong with strawberries or even stone fruits.

3. Serve Chilled

This drink tastes best when it is ice cold! Don’t let it get warm. 

Are you a sangria fan? My go-to for parties that are only a few hours is this passion fruit sangria recipe. But if you are having people over to hang out by the pool for the afternoon, this iced tea sangria is your best bet! I can’t wait for summer pool parties! This sangria recipe with iced tea is the perfect way to serve your wine on a warm day!
