I love the Starbucks version of their black iced tea with lemon. However, I don't like the price. Since I got my "formula" right, I've been drinking 2-3 glasses of iced tea every day. Love it. I usually add more lemon concentrate because I like the tangy taste. Enjoy.

    NOTE: A loyal Lipton tea drinker for years, I recently switched to Red Rose tea. The taste is so much better, and unlike Lipton, the "brew" does not turn bitter after sitting for hours, or even a couple of days.
