Step 2
Remove and discard tea bags and mint. Stir in sugar until dissolved.
Step 3
Pour tea into a 3-qt. container, and stir in 4 cups cold water and lemonade concentrate. Serve over ice. Garnish, if desired.
Step 4
Bourbon-Lemonade Iced Tea: Prepare recipe as directed, and stir in 1 cup bourbon. Makes 9 cups.
Step 5
Spiced Dark Rum-Lemonade Iced Tea: Prepare recipe as directed, and stir in 1 cup spiced dark rum. Makes 9 cups.

Very tasty and refreshing. Recommend swapping out 1 cup of water for a 2nd cup of vodka, and cutting the sugar down to 1/3 cup for a bit less sweetness.

Delicious! I do think the amount of added sugar could be reduced though.

Perfect drink on a hot summer day! Not too sweet and amazingly flavorful! Don't skip the mint or the lemon/lime/orange slices, they make the drink!

Delicious and easy! I have served this to two different people, and they both said that it is very "refreshing." My new favorite summer drink!

I've made this recipe twice for parties, and it was very well liked by all who tried it, so I made it again today for a luncheon I'm attending tomorrow. I'm not usually a fan of any tea with sweetener, but this is great!

Excellent. I added a Tbsp of orange flavored vodka to a glass for my "grown up" version.
