     This drink is popular with the younger crowd these days, so I decided to create a delicious homemade version of the half tea/half lemonade beverage.

For the tea:
1 quart of water
Black tea either loose leaf or bagged

If using tea bags, simply brew 1 quart of water with the specified directions on the tea box label. I brewed loose leaf tea with a tea infuser (http://www.teaforte.com/) and used about three small spoonfuls. Chill the brewed tea.

For the lemonade:
2 1/2 c + 2/3 c water
2/3 c sugar
2/3 c lemon juice

In a small pot combine 2/3 water and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil then immediately remove from heat. Chill. Make sure to stir often to dissolve all of the sugar. You have made a simple syrup! Meanwhile juice lemons. Combine the remaining water, lemon juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher. Add the chilled brewed tea. Stir to combine and serve as cold as possible.
