There are iced tea powder mixes that you could just add water and store in the fridge to make iced tea. But I don’t use those in our house. I go for a more traditional way, if that’s how you call it, using actual tea bags.
Here’s How To Make Sweetened Iced Tea.
INGREDIENTS :
8 cups of water
more water, about 12-15 cups
8 tea bags, take the paper out
1 cup of sugar or sweetener that has no sugar yet tastes like sugar

Since most afternoons are still a little on the warm side, even the cooler iced drinks are still a treat, whether it’s an iced coffee or a yummy fruit shake. So for this week’s link round-up, I kept an eye out for all of the above, and found a lot of great, creative drink recipes to try out:

My husband used to (he hasn’t in a while) drink V8 Tomato Juice and it drove me nuts. I can’t stand tomato juice. Neither can I stomach tomato soup. As much as I love fresh tomatoes in pico de gallo or adding sliced tomatoes on sautéed dishes, minced or pureed tomatoes are just not my thing. But then V8 came out with Fusion drinks and since then my aversion to V8 has stopped.
My favorite combo flavors are Peach & Mango, and Pomegranate & Blueberry. Other flavors include Acai Mixed Berry, Orange, and Strawberry & Banana. Not only are V8 …read more
