aunt fely's fruit tea
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!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This Southern fruit tea is an easy, refreshing drink for a hot summer day. The lemonade is a nice complement to the tea. White grape juice adds something extra you just can't put your finger on. It's what makes this fruit tea recipe. Since it makes a batch, it's great for summer barbecues or picnics. This is a very sweet drink. If you don't like extra-sweet tea, start with 1 cup of sugar and add more to taste. We garnished our glasses with a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint.

- 1/2 cup dry instant tea; I use unsweetened Lipton instant tea
- 3/4 cup dry instant lemonade; I use Country Time instant lemonade mix
