ALMOND ICED TEA

Steps:

• Place the tea bags and 2 cups of water in a glass microwaveable measuring cup or bowl; microwave until boiling. {Or, pour boiling water over the 4 tea bags.} Let cool to lukewarm. Squeeze out the tea bags into the tea liquid.
• Place granulated sugar in a 2-quart pitcher. Add about 1/2 c. boiling or very hot tap water; stir until sugar is dissolved. Add tea to the pitcher. Fill the remainder of the pitcher with cold water {to equal 2 quarts total}.
• Stir in almond extract, vanilla extract, and lemon juice {if using}.
• Refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice with a lemon wedge.
• Decaffeinated tea bags can be used just fine.
• Without the fresh lemon juice, you get a sweeter tea with more-pronounced almond flavor. The lemon tones the almond flavor down just a touch. I like it both ways ... depending on my mood. Try it each way to see which you like best!
