A New Twist
On a hot summer day in Saunderstown back in the early 1930s, Sarah Squibb delighted her family with a new recipe for iced tea. Made with black tea, freshly squeezed lemon, granulated sugar, spring water and fresh-picked mint, it immediately became a family tradition.
Today Granny Squibb’s Ice Teas are available in a variety of healthy, refreshing flavors including: Classic Lemon, Mojito Lime, Raspberry and Unsweetened Lemon/Mint. They’ve just released a new flavor, too – Black Currant.
Available locally at Clements’ Market in Portsmouth, Wilbur’s General Store in Little Compton, Lees’ Market in Westport and Tony’s Seafood in Seekonk, the delicious drinks contain no preservatives, artificial flavors, high fructose syrup or gluten.
