Arnold Palmer Iced Tea Recipes

Steps:

• Combine lemonade and iced tea in a highball or tall glass. Add ice and stir until chilled.

Steps:

• Put the tea bags in a large heatproof pitcher and pour in 5 cups boiling water. Let steep about 10 minutes. Discard the tea bags.
• Pour half of the tea into ice cube trays and freeze until firm, 3 hours. Refrigerate the rest.
• Make a simple syrup: Heat 1 cup water and the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool.
• Stir 1 cup of the simple syrup, the lemon juice, 5 cups cold water and the vodka into the pitcher of chilled tea. Add the tea ice cubes.
• Pour the drink into glasses. Garnish with lemon slices and mint.

Steps:

• Heat one quart of water to boiling in large saucepan. Add loose tea to boiling water and remove from heat; allow to steep with lid on for 4 minutes. Immediately strain tea into a pitcher filled with the cool water.
• While tea is brewing, for the lemonade base combine water, sugar and lemon zest. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool, and then add the lemon juice. Strain the syrup and store in the refrigerator in a covered jar.
• To Serve: Fill a 16 ounce glass 3/4 full with ice. Put in 2 -3 tablespoons (or to taste) lemonade base and then slowly fill the glass with tea. Garnish with mint sprig and serve.
• For alcoholic beverage, add Bourbon.
• Should you have leftover lemonade base, it may be used to make lemonade by using 1 part lemonade base and 4 parts water.
