- How do I make a refreshing iced tea or lemonade

Sure! Here are five different ways to make a refreshing iced tea or lemonade:

**Classic Iced Tea**: Brew your favorite tea (black, green, or herbal) and let it steep for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let it cool. Pour it over ice and add a splash of lemon juice and some fresh mint leaves for extra flavor.

**Lemonade Twist**: Squeeze the juice of about 4-6 lemons into a pitcher. Mix in about a cup of sugar (adjust to taste) and stir until dissolved. Add 4 cups of cold water, mix well, and pour over ice. Garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of mint.

**Peach Iced Tea**: Brew some black tea and let it cool. In a blender, puree a couple of ripe peaches with a bit of sugar and strain it into the tea. Serve it over ice with peach slices and a mint leaf on top!

**Herbal Lemonade**: Brew some herbal tea (like chamomile or hibiscus) and let it cool. Mix the cooled tea with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sweeten to taste. Serve over ice with lemon wheels and a few berries for a fun twist.
