My Salute To Golf…
Picture it – Summer 2010 the sun is shining the birds are singing – oh wait, it was dark and humid we were driving down a road lost in Youngstown, Ohio, when we stopped at a gas station and picked up some iced tea and a couple of Arnold Palmers… the rest my friends is history as they say – I was in love with Arnold Palmer – the drink people …. c’mon.
I made lemonade the summer before last and I love its tartness and flavor. And then I read a post about sweat tea on All About Bonfires and then I waited ages until I put the two together and was like I can make my own Arnold Palmer with little effort! Right now, I am practicing for the summer, but it’s been pretty great. Plus lemons go on sale lots so no worries your pennies are safe with this recipe.
Arnold Palmer
- Lemons
- Orange Pekoe tea bags
- Sugar
- Hot water
Now about how many lemons you should use. This recipe can’t really be that direct because it really depends how lemony you like things. I would recommend starting with 3. Juice them and pour them into your juice jug. Add sugar to taste. Boil the water, enough for 4 cups and let the tea steep for at least 5 minutes and cool. Add the tea to the lemon mixture. Taste it and see if you need more sugar. For me this has been a very trial and error bevie.
The last time I made this I used 5 lemons and 6 cups of tea. I added about 1/3 cup of sugar. It was pretty good.
This looks really pretty with lemon rings for garnish or floating in the juice jug.
