A refreshing drink from Gooseberry Patch. The lemonade adds a nice, clean taste to this iced tea. For a really cool and original way to serve this drink to guests, check out step 3. Enjoy!

SERVES 10 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 cups boiling water
2 family-size tea bags or 8 regular tea bags
6 leaves fresh mint
6 ounces frozen lemonade concentrate
1 cup sugar
5 cups cold water

Garnish

ice cubes, fresh mint sprigs

Directions

1
Pour boiling water into a large heatproof pitcher. Add teabags and mint leaves; let stand for 5 minutes. Discard teabags and mint leaves.
2
Add frozen lemonade, sugar and cold water, mixing well. Serve over ice; garnish with mint sprigs.
3
A really neat way that Gooseberry showed this drink is to put each serving in mason jars, sealer lids and all, with a slice of lemon in each jar. Put all the jars in a bucket of ice and serve to your guests that way. Very impressive for a barbeque or gathering and a very inexpensive way to do it as well.

We love mint tea so this one was going to be a winner! I used my iced tea maker and layered the mint leaves on top of 6 regular sized tea bags. I would use a little less sugar next time but I like a tarter flavor. Nif this was a great iced tea recipe, thank you for sharing. Made and reviewed for Kittencal's Mini Cook-a-thon.

Mmmmmmmm, this is lovely. I used fresh lemon juice and Splenda in place of the concentrate to control the sugar. I didn't have fresh mint so steeped the tea with fried mint which I filtered out to avoid the wee green flecks all over the place. The end result was mighty tasty and easy to do.

So yummy and refreshing on a hot July summer day! I didn't have quite enough lemonade concentrate, so used 1 cup less water. My DH and I both enjoyed it! Thanks! Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
