LEMONADE ICED TEA

Steps:

• Bring 2-3 cups of water to a boil. Pour into gallon size pitcher, add tea bags and steep for 5-10 minutes, to taste. (I have left it overnight before; leave it as long as you like, the longer it steeps the stronger it gets, but 10 minutes is sufficient.).
• Remove tea bags, and add the lemonade mix. Top with cold water and ice to fill the pitcher. I usually don't have ice, and just chill it a few hours in my fridge.

BLUEBERRY-LEMONADE ICED TEA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, add the frozen blueberries, and the water.
• Bring water to a boil; stir once or twice while waiting for the water to come to a boil.
• After the water comes to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and simmer the berries for 10 minutes.
• Remove pan from the heat, and strain the water/blueberries.
• Add the tea bags to the pan, cover the pan, and steep the tea for 1 hour.
• Remove the tea bags from the pan, and strain the tea twice.
• Pour the blueberry-tea into a heat proof glass pitcher.
• To the pitcher, add one tub of the sugar-free lemonade flavored drink mix, and give the mixture a good stir.

• At this point you can immediately serve the tea in a glass filled with ice, or you can chill the tea in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
