-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
In a large pitcher, mix together steeped tea, simple syrup, lemon juice, apricot nectar, and the remaining 2 cups of water.
-
Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours, or serve with ice.

Enjoy!
