Family-Friendly Summer Tea Punch Recipe

There is nothing better than a tasty, refreshing drink on a blazing hot, summer day!

Yes, a cold glass of water will do the trick but this southerner always falls for a tall glass of sweet tea, as does her family.

I love to put a spin on a classic favorite, so for your next outdoor gathering when you find you've got a mixed crowd of thirsty kids and adults, whip up a pitcher of this refreshing summer tea. It's ideal for a crowd since you make it in a big batch, but because it's so delicious you'll probably want to have extra on standby - your guests will be coming back for more, for sure!

Ingredients:

1 family size tea bag

6 cups HOT water

1 1/2 - 1 3/4 cups sugar (to preference)

1 6 oz can frozen lemonade

1 6 oz can frozen orange juice

10 cups COLD water

Directions:

Submerge tea bag in hot water for about 20-25 minutes. Add sugar and dissolve.  Add juices and water and stir well.

Makes roughly 18 cups.

Enjoy!
