A lightly sweet apple cooler for those long, sweltering days. It's like taking a bite out of a chilled McIntosh apple. Sparkling apple cider enlivens Mackintosh tea’s refreshing fennel and green apple flavor. This low-calorie mocktail is a great choice for a picnic or relaxing on an Adirondack.
Recipe is for 2 drinks. Or make an iced tea batch.
