Whew, today was a hot one! A great day for a nice refreshing glass of Lemonade Sweet Tea!
At this point of the summer down here in the South, we are either indoors enjoying the air conditioning, or outside in some kind of water. Today we headed out to the lake. The boys played hard! So hard that this is what happened on the way back to the dock. . .
Ha ha! They were wiped out! It was a fun day!
Okay, back to the recipe.
I ripped this recipe out of a Southern Living Magazine awhile back and make it very often during the hot summer months. It’s super easy, very yummy and so refreshing.
Ingredients:
3 cups water
2 family-size tea bags
1 package fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups cold water
1 can frozen lemonade concentrate
Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a 2-qt. saucepan. Remove from heat, add tea bags, and stir in fresh mint. Cover and steep 10 minutes.
- Discard tea bags and mint. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Pour tea into a 3-qt. container, and stir in 4 cups cold water and lemonade concentrate. Serve over ice. Garnish with lemons and mint, if desired.
Serve over ice. Now sit back, relax and enjoy summertime!
- Hope you had a fantastic weekend!
