This delightful beverage, a harmonious blend of iced tea and lemonade, is perfect for any occasion. Let’s dive into the traditional recipe that will transport you to a world of summer bliss.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of brewed black tea (cooled)
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemonade
- Ice cubes
- Lemon slices (for garnish)
Preparation Steps
- Brew the Tea: Start by brewing a strong cup of black tea. Allow it to steep for about 5-7 minutes, then remove the tea bags and let it cool.
- Make the Lemonade: If you prefer homemade, mix freshly squeezed lemon juice with water and sugar to taste. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Combine: In a large pitcher, mix the cooled black tea and lemonade. Adjust the ratio to your taste—more tea for a stronger flavor or more lemonade for a sweeter kick.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the Arnold Palmer mixture over the ice.
- Garnish: Add a slice of lemon on the rim of the glass for a beautiful presentation and an extra zing of flavor.
