Notes
- Water: To use a tea kettle, bring 4 cups water to boil. In a large measuring cup or bowl, pour boiling water over tea bags.
- Black tea: I have been drinking PG Tips since 1998 and it's my absolute favorite, but feel free to use your own favorite black tea.
- Lemons: When purchasing lemons, choose large ones that give slightly to gentle pressure. Look for thinner-skinned lemons. Avoid lemons that still have some green spots, as well as hard lemons with thicker skin.
- Sugar: It's okay to use more or less sugar. We haven't tested the lemonade with sugar substitutes or other sweeteners, but you are welcome to experiment.
- Yield: This recipe makes 10 cups of Arnold Palmer, enough for 10 (1-cup) servings.
- Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Meyer lemons: These lemons are sweeter and juicier and available in winter months.
- John Daly: An Arnold Palmer spiked with vodka (1 1/2 ounces vodka for every 4 ounces of iced tea-lemonade).
