We are doing a blast from the past theme day today on b5.  When I think of the summers of my childhood I think of lots of longs days with nothing but time, hamburgers done on the grill, and this refreshing tea that a neighbor from New New York always made, Long Island Tea.

Now, when I was growing up and drinking Long Island tea it was NOT the recipes I have seen on the Internet! Nope. It was the most refreshing, nonalcoholic tea I have ever had. In fact, a company in the late 80s created a scent that smelled exactly like it and I wore it for years..it was called Long Island Tea!

1 gallon sweet tea
1 can (12 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 can frozen orange juice thawed
sliced lemons, bruised mint leaves, and orange slices to float in the tea
Serve in frosted glasses
