Classic Lemon Iced Tea Recipe

Here is a lemon iced tea recipe that is, I think, classic.

It is versatile enough though so you can use your favorite brand of tea.

You can also blend several teas for a new flavor. It can be made decaffeinated too. The choice is yours.

Do you remember when you were little and had a lemonade or iced tea stand?

I also remember sitting on the porch and my mom would bring us cool drinks. This recipe reminds me of those times.
