  1. In a pitcher, combine 2 cups of chilled grapefruit juice and 4 black tea bags.
  2. Gently stir and let the tea steep in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for a stronger tea flavor. Stir occasionally.
  3. Remove the tea bags and taste. If desired, add 1-2 cups of water, tonic water, club soda, Sprite, or 7-Up to adjust sweetness and intensity.
  4. Serve chilled over ice. Garnish with a grapefruit slice or fresh mint sprig (optional).
