Lemon-Lime Infused Sweet Tea


Ingredients

2 Lipton Iced Tea Bags (2 tea bags per quart of H2O) *
1 quart water
1/2 cup sugar
lemon (cut into slices) **
1/2 lime (cut into slices) **
Lots of ice

* Feel free to pick your own tea of choice
** Mix and match your favorite fruits until you get a combo you like

Directions
  1. Boil water
  2. After water is boiling, carefully pour into a pitcher about two-thirds of the way full and let tea bags steep in the water for 4 to 5 minutes
  3. Remove tea bags and add sugar.  Mix until dissolved.
  4. Add lemon and lime slices, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.  You can remove these after or leave them in, it's your call.  Unless I am serving the sweet tea immediately, I like to remove them so they don't "go bad" soaking in the tea.
  5. Add ice and enjoy!
