Fred Thompson has written books about a variety of beverages, including lemonade, hot chocolate, and bourbon.

With iced tea season underway for many of us, it’s a good time to revisit one of his works focused on this refreshing drink.

Iced Tea: 50 Recipes for Refreshing Tisanes, Infusions, Coolers, and Spiked Teas may not be a new release, but it remains a reliable favorite for iced tea enthusiasts.

Tea Party Inspiration

Another relatively recent title that may have slipped under the radar is The Vintage Tea Party Year by Angel Adoree.

This book explores themed tea parties throughout the year, offering recipes, games, and craft ideas for each occasion.

For even more inspiration in this style, readers might also consider Vintage Tea Party by Carolyn Caldicott.
