Author Notes: I found this super easy and perfectly proportioned iced tea recipe a few years back in a local lifestyle magazine and I’ve used it exclusively ever since. It really is fool proof and so refreshing on a hot summer day like today.
When I first made it, I wondered how 3 teabags could stand up to 8 cups of water, but somehow the flavor really comes through.
Obviously you can adjust the sugar and lemon measurements to your liking, but I am giving it to you as it was published.
Everyone loves it, so make up extra copies of the recipe to give to your friends! —JulieBee
