Iced Tea Portion:
- 3-4 black tea bags
- 4 cups water divided
Lemonade Portion
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 1/4 cups cold water
Optional alcohol:
- 1 oz. sweet tea vodka or bourbon per glass
In a microwave safe glass measuring cup or bowl, add 2 c. of water with 3-4 black tea bags. Microwave for 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and let tea steep for about 5-10 minutes. Remove tea bags, pour tea concentrate into a pitcher and add 2 more cups of cold water. Stir.
In a separate container, like a large glass measuring cup or pitcher, combine lemon juice, sugar and 3 1/4 c. cold water. Stir to dilute sugar. Pour into pitcher with ice tea mixture and stir to combine. Chill.
When ready to serve, pour into glasses over ice. Keep refrigerated.
For a sweeter tea, increase sugar to 3/4 cup. For a more tart, less sweet tea, reduce sugar to 1/3 - 1/4 cup of sugar. Adjust to your taste preference.
For a spiked version: Add either Sweet Tea flavored vodka or Bourbon (one 1 oz. shot of either), per glass.
