Lemon Iced Tea

Summer isn’t complete without a tall glass of sweet tea, and this homemade lemon iced tea takes it to the next level. Using whole fresh lemons—juice and peel—plus fresh mint leaves, this recipe delivers a flavour-packed, refreshing drink you can't get from a bottle. The recipe involves making a lemon peel-infused simple syrup on the stove, ensuring no undissolved sugar. Then, simply brew the tea bags and mix in the syrup, fresh lemon juice, cold water, and ice. Pour, serve, and enjoy the perfect summer refresher!
