Classic Arnold Palmer Recipe

Boil 4 cups of water in a saucepan.

Remove from heat and add tea bags (or loose tea).

Steep for 5-7 minutes, depending on desired strength.

Remove tea bags and let cool (or strain if using loose tea).

In a separate pitcher, combine 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of granulated sugar.

Stir until sugar is fully dissolved.

Add 4 cups of cold water to the lemon mixture; mix well.

In a large pitcher, combine the cooled tea with the lemonade.

Stir well to mix.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Pour over ice and garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves, if desired.
