Mint Julep Iced Tea

So refreshing

Very good! I had never made iced tea before and I'm glad I found this recipe because I will be making it often from now on. Thanks for the recipe!

Super easy to make expect it needs more tea I made mine stronger.

Ive made many quarts of tea at my age and I knew when I read the recipe that 4 small teabags would not make a decent cup of tea - it would be too,too weak. I changed the recipe drastically. First, I used 7 teabags instead of 4, used 1 qt of water instead of 2 qts. The cup of sugar to 1 cup water was too sweet so I used more lemon juice to my taste. I did use 1 cup of orange juice. The color of the tea was still very pale and not strong, though it did taste good - more orange flavored than tea flavor. I have a tip for all you tea-drinkers out there. To keep your tea from getting cloudy add 1/8 teaspoon baking soda to the water while steeping the tea. You should make 2qts of tea for this amount of soda. It neutralizes the tannic acid which makes your tea cloudy.
