How to Make Lemon And Red Zinger Iced Tea

  1. In a heat-safe pitcher, steep 4 Lemon Zinger tea bags and 4 Red Zinger tea bags in 4 cups of freshly boiled hot water.
  2. Allow the tea bags to steep for 10-15 minutes, or until the desired strength is reached. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.
  3. Remove the tea bags from the pitcher and discard.
  4. Stir in 4 cups of chilled apple juice. This helps to cool the tea quickly and adds a delicious sweetness.
  5. Refrigerate the tea for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  6. Serve over ice in glasses. Garnish with lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
