A refreshing twist on classic iced tea, perfect for hot summer days.
Boil 4 cups of water in a kettle.
Ensure the water is at a rolling boil for optimal tea extraction.
Add the tea bags to the hot water and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags without squeezing.
Avoid squeezing the tea bags to prevent bitterness.
In a heat-proof pitcher, combine the limeade concentrate and sugar.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth flavor.
Pour the steeped tea into the pitcher and stir well.
Stirring ensures the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the remaining 3 cups of cold water to the pitcher and mix.
Adding cold water helps cool the tea faster.
Chill the tea in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the tea over ice and garnish with lime wedges.
For an extra touch, rim the glass with sugar before serving.
