This Is What Iced Tea Looks Like at Pat Altschul's Place (It's a Summer MOOD)

Southern Charm’s Patricia Altschul is the definition of a gracious hostess, presiding over the food and beverage operations within her incredible southern home. In case you had any doubt, consider her philosophy for stocking her home bar, just in case. And she's also — officially — one of America’s best party hosts.

Ready for another example of gracious hospitality in Patricia's house? Look no further than her Instagram, where she shared her simple summer recipe for iced tea including the specific varieties of loose-leaf tea she uses — and showed off just how she and Michael the butler serve it for company. "Getting ready to serve ice tea with simple syrup and Meyer lemon on the piazza," she wrote, using the hashtags for "#summertime" and of course for "#southerncharm."

Lest you think Pat is all about a liquid diet, there is more to her than iced tea and martinis: Let her demonstrate the proper way to eat a hot dog, too!
