If there’s anything any Southern Belle knows, it’s how to make good sweet tea. If they really want to impress their Northern friends, they’ll add their own personal twist to it. My personal favorite twist is to add raspberries. Here is the only raspberry tea recipe you’ll need to make your friends believe that you’re Southern AF.
