Lemonade Flavored Iced Tea image

I made this Lemonade Flavored Iced Tea for many years. You can use either granulated sugar to sweeten it, or use packets of Saccharin Sweetener to sweeten it up. I also add a packet of Lemonade Flavored Kool-Aid, to give it that lemon flavor. Surprisingly, it tastes very good!

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 cup(s) water, divided
10 - regular size tea bags, (see *note)
1 cup(s) sugar (or 24 packets of saccharin sweetener)
1 - (0.23 oz.) packet unsweetened lemonade flavored kool-aid

Steps:

  • Place 10 tea bags in a 2-quart size pitcher.

  • Cover, and let the tea steep for 1 hour on your kitchen counter.
  • Remove tea bags from pitcher, and carefully squeeze the tea bags to remove excess liquid into the pitcher.

  • Refrigerate the Lemonade Flavored Tea until it is chilled.
  • Serve lemonade/tea over ice cubes in a glass.
