If you’re ready to start singing Christmas carols but want to remember sweet summertime, you’re going to need to try this Gingerbread Frozen Iced Tea. This fun combination offers up the winter flavor of gingerbread with the icy sweet tea that we love. Consider creating this for your holiday get together – especially for those of us here in the south! We experience warm temperatures through Christmas, and this sweet drink is the perfect pairing for next to the fire or out on your patio.
Imagine drinking this by the warm fire or on your sunny patio. The key ingredient, Milo’s Tea, is the star of the show. It is fresh brewed and features natural ingredients. There’s no preservatives or added acids. It’s THE beverage for holiday meal entertaining and get-togethers. The gallon jugs make it easy to serve guests, plus there are a variety of flavors to please all of your friends and family. They have Milo’s Tea sweetened with pure cane sugar, no calorie and unsweet options, as well as lemonade, and a tea and lemonade mix.
I found Milo’s at my local Walmart in the refrigerated juice and dairy section but they are available at lots of retailers. Find a store near you by using the store locator.
The first step is to blend your tea ever so slightly in a blender. Top with whipped cream, gingerbread crumbles, and garnish with a gingerbread cookie. You’re going to love it!

We usually host holiday parties, and we find it easy to prepare for our guests with simple recipes like this one. It’s almost a dessert in a glass, so you can serve it as a refreshing after dinner treat.
As you gather with your loved ones this year, remember the story of Milo’s Tea. They’re a family owned business in Bessember, Alabama. It was a restaurant (called Milo’s) that was started in 1946 by Milo and Bea Carlton. With a simple philosophy, they gained success! By using high quality, fresh, and natural ingredients, they never sacrificed taste. In 1989 their famous tea was sold in local Birmingham grocery stores, and now Milo’s can be found all over the United States.
How are you coming together with your family this year?

Gingerbread is one of my favorite fall/holiday flavors. I always add it to my chai tea lattes at Starbucks. I love the flavor the gingerbread adds to the tea.
