CYNTHIA'S HEAVENLY TEA
This recipe is taken from Jan Karon's Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader. I took away a lot of great Southern recipes from this book, and this particular recipe is my family's favorite way to drink iced tea. I have changed it on occasion, but always come back to the original.
