It got pretty exact on my measurements. If I fill up my tea kettle, it's about 1.5 quarts, so that's what everything is based on. The tea needs to be strong, but not black, ya know? It has to be strong enough to balance against the amount of lemon juice you're putting on there. I will sometimes let the tea sit for about 30 minutes. I cover the pitcher w/ a lid, and a towel to keep it insulated and warm so it steeps thoroughly. It really takes chilling it down to appreciate the flavors. I wouldn't shake it with ice in a martini shaker to cool it. It waters it down.

Cool, thanks for sharing. Tea has been my new addiction since I gave up coffee, soda, and energy drinks. It'll probably be cheaper and healthier to start preparing it myself.

Ditto. I must say I feel better generally now that I ditched coffee and drink only (various green) tea. Used to drink coffee heavily.

I make this awesome lemon sugar tea that just rocks.

Make 1.5 quarts strong tea. I boil the water, the pour it in my pitcher with five tea bags of regular ice tea, cover it and let it steep for about 20 minutes. Remove bags, add 1 cup sugar, stir until dissolved. Add juice of 4 small, OR 2 large, lemons. Serve cold, and it's fucking delicious.

I was trying to match Arizona Lemon Tea, and I think I exceeded it a bit. I love it.

We always have a couple jugs of homemade tea in the fridge ~ I love lemon in mine

Super yum !

On Sunday my brother & his wife stopped by for drinks.

I'm not a beer guy, but I like Sapporo

That ONE can lasted me all night (put it back in the cooler at least 3 times to keep it chilled).

A friend who's Colombian made some type of concoction that they supposedly drink in Colombia (I think it's called a "remolada?")...he mixed Colombian Cola (similar to "Champagne Cola") with beer.

not my favorite.

for breakfast today ! (workmate has birthday)
