Concentrate for Refreshing Tea, Iced or Hot

1. 1

   Combine the sugar & lemon juice in a sauce pan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring a little to ensure the sugar is well dissolved.

2. 2

   Once it has cooled a bit, pour it into the 2 qt pitcher.

3. 3

   Unless you have a container large enough, I make the Orange Pekoe tea in my tea pot, and the herbal teas in a one qt heat proof container.

4. 4

   Cover both and let steep.

5. 5

   By the time the teas have cooled somewhat and are a nice deep colour, you can now add them to the pitcher.

6. 6

   Stir so that you don't have a little layer of sugar settling on the bottom, and VOILA!

7. 7

   This is the basic recipe.

8. 8

   Now you can stir in whatever undiluted juice concentrates you like.

9. 9

   To serve, fill one THIRD of a glass with the tea concentrate, add about 3 or 4 ice cubes, and top it off with water.

10. 10

    Stir.

11. 11

    Serve with a straw.

12. 12

    Ginger ale can replace half the water if you want fizz.
