Kool Aid Lemonade Iced Tea Food

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.

SUMMERTIME ICED TEA

Steps:

• Pour boiling water into a large heatproof pitcher. Add teabags and mint leaves; let stand for 5 minutes. Discard teabags and mint leaves.
• Add frozen lemonade, sugar and cold water, mixing well. Serve over ice; garnish with mint sprigs.
• A really neat way that Gooseberry showed this drink is to put each serving in mason jars, sealer lids and all, with a slice of lemon in each jar. Put all the jars in a bucket of ice and serve to your guests that way. Very impressive for a barbeque or gathering and a very inexpensive way to do it as well.

LEMONADE FLAVORED ICED TEA

Steps:

• Place 10 tea bags in a 2-quart size pitcher.
• In a medium size saucepan, bring 4 cups of water, all most to a boil. Remove pan from heat, as soon as you see bubbles start to come to the surface.
• Pour the hot water over the tea bags in a pitcher.
• Cover, and let the tea steep for 1 hour on your kitchen counter.
• Remove tea bags from pitcher, and carefully squeeze the tea bags to remove excess liquid into the pitcher.
• Stir in the granulated sugar or Saccharin Sweetener. Then add the remaining 4 cups of water, and the packet of Lemonade Flavored Kool-Aid, and stir.
• Refrigerate the Lemonade Flavored Tea until it is chilled.
• Serve lemonade/tea over ice cubes in a glass.
• Yields: 2-quarts of lemonade flavored tea
• Note: For this recipe, I used Lipton's Decaffeinated Black Tea Bags.
