A Delicious Summer Cooler

With the summer heat upon us, a cold drink is a refreshing afternoon addition.  This iced tea is one of our favorite treats, and we always keep a box of tea bags handy for this purpose.  

What you'll need:

1-quart mason jar filled with water

2 "Raspberry Zinger" by Celestial Seasonings tea bags

2 Tablespoons sugar

Optional:  1 Squeeze of fresh lemon

I start out by stirring the sugar into the mason jar of water until it is dissolved completely.  I then drop two tea bags into the mixture, put on the lid, and let it sit in the fridge for at least eight hours.  After the time has passed, I pull out the teabags and squeeze some fresh lemon juice into the tea if I have some on hand.  The last thing to do is enjoy!
