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.
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.
