This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! 

This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! It’s not summer until there’s a pitcher of iced tea left on the counter because you forgot to put it back in the fridge after pouring yourself a glass.

Whoops.

And this is why we have automatic ice machines, people. #iceicebaby

And really, really cute straws. Cute things just make everything better! It’s a fact of life.

This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! I used to live near this tiny artisan food market that had this amazing sandwich shop in the back. They always had 3 or 4 homemade iced teas brewing that were ridiculously amazing, and sometimes, the teas were the real reason we went so often.

Blueberry Pomegranate was a real favorite, and apparently, a real crowd pleaser considering more often than not they were out of the first batch by the time we arrived for lunch. Ohh, let me tell you, it was so worth the wait.

This Apricot Lemon Iced Tea is pretty worth the wait too. If Plaza P (that definitely wasn’t this shop’s name, but I think it should’ve been) had served this tea, I probably never would have left.

This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! This simple summer tea recipe has only 5-ingredients standing between it and you (or me, because I can down a whole pitcher of this stuff in a day if I don’t pace myself).

1. Water

2. Tea Bags

3. Lemon Juice

4. Sugar

5. Apricot Nectar

Despite the small ingredient list, this iced tea packs a subtle punch (I know that last statement was totally an oxymoron, because how can something pack a punch if it’s subtle, but, this tea is full of apricot lemon flavor without it overpowering the tea flavor, aka, packing a subtle punch).

This easy homemade iced tea recipe is made with only five ingredients and tastes like summer! Cheers, y’all!

Ingredients
  • 5 cups of water
  • 5 tea bags (whatever flavor you prefer--I used a plain flavor)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice, fresh
  • 12 oz apricot nectar
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then remove from the heat and steep the 5 tea bags for 10-12 minutes (covered). Once the tea has steeped, remove the tea bags. Set aside.
  2. In another saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly (this makes a simple syrup) until the sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool 10 minutes.
  3. In a large pitcher, mix together steeped tea, simple syrup, lemon juice, apricot nectar, and the remaining 2 cups of water.
  4. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or serve with ice.
  5. Enjoy!

    Cute things definitely make everything better! I love having iced tea in the summer! I actually never really drink it any other time of the year, but I’ve been hooked on Starbucks’s teas. This version sounds so much better, though! Love the apricot flavor in here!

    I would have never thought to combine apricot and lemon, but it sounds absolutely refreshing! 🙂
