I wanted to go ahead and post a photo and review, but I'm kind of waiting to see if the baking soda keeps the tea from getting cloudy! I halved the recipe, since I'm an empty-nester now. This turned out great....I'll be drinking it throughout the week. Thanks for posting! Made for photo tag.

A grand taste and a grand view to partake of such delightful liquid refreshment on a hot summer day. I followed this exactly. Used this on Saturday Lunch at the Farm and I ran out...it was so delicious! It made a perfect drink to cool the thirst of our farm helpers and was a very welcomed addition to the farm table. I put mine in a big glass pitcher, adding 6 cups of water to the pitcher. Floated sliced lemons on top! Made for Everyday is a Holiday August 2009.

This is a great way to prepare iced tea for a crowd without having to fill the fridge with it! I found that the syrup needed to be diluted 50/50 with water to make it how I like it. Thanks for a wonderful space-saver!
