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.

How To Make iced tea lemonade - my version

  • Step 1
    Pour boiling water in heat proof container. Add tea bags & let steep 10 minutes or longer. Dispose of used tea bags. Cool and refrigerate. Make simple syrup at the same time.
  • Step 2
    When you want a glass of iced tea: Fill glass with ice. Add 1 TBS. simple syrup. Add 1 TBS. lemonade concentrate. Add tea to fill. Mix well. Taste and adjust to your liking.
  • Step 3
    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.
