Mommarie's Iced Tea...

Here is a nice cold drink for you and your family to enjoy!!!

~Mommarie's Homemade Iced Snapple Tea~
To make a gallon of Iced tea you will need...
6 tea bags of Lipton or Green Tea
1 Cup Honey or sugar (whichever you prefer) or half of each.
1 Cup of lemon juice
If you would like you can also add some peppermint and spearmint herbs as well!
Cut 2 stems of the peppermint and 1 stem of the spearmint.
Or add two tea bags of peppermint if you do not grow your own.
Steep the tea bags in a bowl with four cups of hot water, for about five minutes.
Note for herbs: Cut up your herbs into the bowl before adding the tea bags; steep for 5 minutes then after add your tea bags. Do not strain your herb clippings 'til you pour your mixture into the gallon container.

Next remove the tea bags and add the one cup honey or sugar, stir until dissolved. Next add the 1 cup of lemon juice, stir and pour into your one gallon container. Then add your ice and cold water until it reaches the top.
Put the lid on and stick it in the refrigerator to enjoy some yummy iced tea!!!
