Amanda's Notes:

This is my Aunt Felyscia's fabulous fruit tea recipe that has become one of my absolute favorites and a must-have whenever we go to visit in Tennessee. This is a true Southern tea, and it's truly delicious! I have always disliked tea and would never drink it, but this is my one exception...and I usually go through a pitcher all on my own!

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

Quick and easy, these simple ingredients combine into a refreshing delight of a drink!

 

Directions

1
Stir the DRY ingredients (instant tea, instant lemonade, sugar) together in a pitcher. Do this before you add any liquids.
2
After stirring together the dry ingredients, add the white grape juice to the dry ingredients and stir together.
3
Add one gallon of water to the mixture and enjoy!

I use Country Time lemonade, and it comes in a small container. It's not a Kool Aid mix, but I suppose that could work?

Dah...thank you Amanda. I never even thought about Country Time. Makes perfect sense. Honest when I read it I thought about my Russian Tea recipe (hot drink for winter). Calls for 1 envelope of Kool-Ade lemonade unsweetened. Now I understand...;) Think I will make it up today. Have to make a Walmart run of course. Heck, I feel like I should have a bed in that place.

@ Amanda..do you just pour the powder in, or do you mix up enough country time to make 2qts. lemonade and add it to the rest? Making recipe come out to be 1 gallon + 2qts.? Again, thank you

Peggy, Glad that I am not the only one confused by this recipe! Perhaps an answer to a stupid question is in order...so here is my stupid question...is the 2 qt instant lemonade, the actual lemonade made with say countrytime lemonade mix...or is it the powdered countrytime lemonade mix itself that if used would make 2 qts of lemonade? Hope you understand my question. This really does look like a wonderful summertime drink and sounds great too. Just am not sure HOW to make it. 3/20/12
BTW Congratulations on the blue ribbon obviously the kitchen crew figured it out.
