Sweet Tea Recipe

8/4/16

This classic and refreshing sweet tea is the perfect summer drink for a hot day out on the porch

Easy ice cold sweet tea recipe!

Nothing is more refreshing than a nice cold glass of sweet tea.. Especially during the summer. I don’t know about you, but when it reaches over 70 degrees  I NEED a nice cold beverage on hand at all times. I’ve been drinking my mango pineapple lemonade, and my watermelon iced tea a lot this summer. However, I love regular sweet tea as well. It’s simple, delicious, and always satisfies my thirst.

Sweet tea with a hint of lemon is a refreshing treat on a hot summer day

My recipe for sweet tea is simple. I use regular black tea bags. You can use your favorite brand ( as of right now I am not married to a brand). I make a simple syrup, and I add a dash of lemon juice.

This sweet tea recipe is simple and refreshing, perfect for those hot summer days
