Ingredients:
- 4 cups Cold filtered water
- 4 High-quality black tea bags
- 1/2 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Filtered water
- 3 tbsp Agave nectar
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 Sprig of fresh mint
Instructions:
- Place 4 black tea bags into your large glass pitcher.
- Pour 4 cups of cold filtered water over the bags. Note: Using cold water from the start is what prevents the bitterness.
- Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
- Remove the tea bags after the 8 hour mark, being careful not to squeeze them, which can release extra tannins.
- In a separate bowl or jar, combine 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, 1.5 cups filtered water, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 3 tbsp agave nectar.
- Whisk the lemonade mixture vigorously until the agave is completely dissolved and the zest is distributed.
- Fill highball glasses to the brim with clear ice cubes.
- Pour the cold brewed tea into each glass until it is roughly 3/4 full.
- Top off the remaining 1/4 of the glass with your prepared lemonade mixture.
- Stir gently with a long spoon until the colors swirl together and the drink is chilled.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon wheel. If you find yourself wanting to experiment with the base, you can always try different sweeteners. However, sticking to the agave or a liquid syrup is key to maintaining that velvety texture.
