Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Prepare glass with ice
Fill a tall glass (like a highball or pint glass) generously with 1 serving of ice.

Estimated time: less than 1 min
2
Add iced tea
Pour 6 ounces (180 ml) of chilled unsweetened iced tea over the ice.
💡 Tips:
- •Use freshly brewed tea for the best flavor. Black tea is traditional, but green tea can also be used.
Estimated time: less than 1 min
3
Add lemonade
Pour 6 ounces (180 ml) of chilled lemonade into the glass, topping off the tea.
💡 Tips:

Estimated time: less than 1 min
4
Stir and garnish
Stir gently to combine the tea and lemonade. Garnish with 1 lemon slice on the rim or in the drink. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •Stir just enough to mix; over-stirring isn't necessary.
