Tip: If you have ice cube trays, pour tea in the trays, add berries and freeze, use these ice fruited cubes to chill your sangria.
If you have any tea sangria left over, cover it and refrigerate for up to three days. You can make more tea and add to the leftover fruit. The longer it sits the better it will be. This is great with Lemon Cooler Cookies
