I love iced tea, and I love an Arnold Palmer (half iced tea, and half lemonade). This is a recipe based off an Arnold Palmer.
I had this tea a few summers ago at a family reunion. My Aunt Brenda (one of my most favorite people by the way) made a billion batches of this for our large family over the course of a weekend. I fell in love with it, and it has since become one of my summer staples, although it would really be great year-round.
I would like to mention here that I hate sweet tea. HATE. IT. But for some reason, this hits the spot every time.
Ingredients:
Gallon-sized tea bag
1 can frozen pink-lemonade concentrate
3/4 cup - 1 1/2 cups sugar or Splenda
Make tea according to the package, steeping for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, dump pink-lemonade concentrate into a pitcher. Pour hot tea over the pink-lemonade to help melt it, and stir until completely dissolved. Add water if needed to make a full pitcher of tea. Add sugar to taste until it's the right amount of "sweetness" for you.
**Splenda works really well, but I haven't tried other zero-calorie sweeteners. Splenda measures cup-for-cup like sugar, so be careful if you're using Truvia, or some other sweetener as it may not measure the same.
Stir together, refrigerate, and enjoy!
Yum! Sounds so refreshing!!
