Arnold Palmers are the perfect way to beat the summer heat! This is a half lemonade, half iced tea drink named after the American golfer who popularized the drink. Numi's range of iced teas opens up a world of flavor possibilities. Though these drinks look fancy, they are really quite easy to throw together!
Make these to impress summer dinner guests. Assemble the drinks in mason jars with lids. Then throw them in a cooler of ice to bring to a barbecue or 4th of July party! Here’s how…
THE BASICS
1. Make a gallon of lemonade. Boil two cups of water. Add two cups of sugar (or sweetener of choice) and stir to dissolve. Add two cups of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add enough cold water to make one gallon of liquid. Chill.
2. Brew your Numi tea according to your package instructions.
3. Add tea, fruit, ice, or alcohol to create your perfect summer drink combination!
