BLACK TEA LEMONADE

Steps:

• Boil 5 cups of water in tea kettle, then transfer boiling water to saucepan.
• Add sugar, mix till disolved.
• Add teabags, and mint (if desired), and bring back to boil.
• Take off burner, and let tea bags and mint steep for 7-10 minutes, depending upon how strong you like your tea.
• Discard tea bags and mint.
• Add Lemon Juice and stir well.
• Add ice cubes, and they will begin melting right away.
• Stir, then pour contents into juice jug - ice cubes don't have to finish melting, they will do so in the jug.
• Chill well; if you are in a hurry, serve over several ice cubes in a glass.
• The flavor is quite different when adding the mint, so try it both ways to see which way you prefer it.
• Note: This can also be made with limes, all other ingredients and measurements remain the same.
