This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Milo’s Tea Company, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #PassTheMilos http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I wouldn’t be the southern woman I am today without gallons of sweet tea and gumption as a dominant gene. Groomed to be refined yet resourceful in every way, my holiday parties always include a pretty-as-punch bowl filled with my favorite Milo’s Tea concoction and show-stopping ice ring made with a few simple ingredients from the icebox and herb garden. And, unlike many libations served this time of year, sweet tea is a drink that the entire family can enjoy. Citrus Cranberry Tea with Holiday Ice Ring is a festive addition to your holiday celebration. A non alcoholic libation that's suitable for the entire family. Three ingredient punch an super easy to make ice ring with lemonade, ginger ale, lemons, limes, cranberries and mint.
