When you think of Boston and tea, you probably think of the Boston Tea Party. But the city links to tea in another way – Boston Iced Tea, which combines tea with cranberry juice. You can use a plain black tea, but we’ve found the slight sweetness of Vanilla Island is the perfect match for the tart cranberry taste! ~ Marlys
