Arnold Palmer Iced Tea
Report
Named after the legendary golfer who invented it, the Arnold Palmer Iced Tea is a refreshing drink. A combination of homemade unsweetened tea and lightly sweetened lemonade, this mocktail sips easy on a hot day. The best part is that when you make the tea and lemonade at home, you can control the sweetness and find your favorite ratio of tea-to-lemonade! Drinking an Arnold Palmer Iced Tea is the perfect way to cool down on a summer's day.

Ingredients
Unsweetened Tea
- 6 cups water boiling
- 5 tea bags
Lemonade
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ½ cups water
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Arnold Palmer Iced Tea (Makes 1)
- 4 oz. unsweetened tea
- 2 oz. lemonade
- crushed or shaved ice
Instructions
Make the Tea
- In a medium-to-large saucepan, measure out the water.
- Bring water to a boil, and take the saucepan off the heat.
- Add the tea bags.
- Steep for 2-4 hours (or until the intensity you like your tea.)
- Refrigerate overnight in a mason jar or a pitcher.
Make the Lemonade
- In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
- Add the sugar and stir until there are no visible sugar crystals.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, and let cool. (This is a rendition of simple syrup that’ll sweeten your lemonade right up!)
- Using a citrus juicer, juice your lemons.
- When you have the desired amount of lemon juice, pour it into the saucepan with the simple syrup.
- Transfer the lemonade to a mason jar, and refrigerate overnight.
Make an Arnold Palmer
- Use your blender or refrigerator to make crushed ice. (I like mine almost powdery because it’s soooo refreshing. But you can use regular ice cubes, too.)
- First, pour in the lemonade.
- Next, pour in the tea.
- Stir with a spoon or a straw, garnish with a lemon slice (if desired) and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled! If you're serving it to a crowd, feel free to combine it in a pitcher and call it a day, making sure to continually stir the ingredients so everyone gets the right amount of lemonade and tea.
- If you want to spike this, feel free! The most popular rendition is called a John Daly (also after an American golfer) and uses vodka. But honestly, rum would be delicious here, as would champagne if you want some bubbles!
