I make unsweetened iced tea, but I'm sure you could sweeten this if you're so inclined:

2 regular Lipton or whatever teabags, 2 Irish Breakfast teabags, and 2 earl grey teabags. Boil in 4 cups of water, let steep 5 mins, add 4 more cups of water, and chill. SO GOOD!

Lavender Lemonade, sweetened with honey: http://crunchychickencooks.blogspot....-lemonade.html

This but I use one whole bag of frozen strawberries usually. Let it sit in the fridge over night then mash them up with a potato masher a bit. Sooooo good

I do mine very simply, method ala readingmama.

I do three tea black tea bags in three cups of water and 3/4 cup of sugar in a mason Jar, microwave til boiling. Remove bags and refrigerate til cool. I mix mine 1/3 mix and 2/3 cold water so I don't have to make it so often.
