Only four days after the infamous Long Island Iced Tea Day is National Iced Tea Day. These five recipes will amp you up, chill you out, knock you around or help you get a jump on summer...
Super Spiked Long Island Green Tea – including Green Tea Vodka so you can feel good and healthy about drinking in the middle of the day ; )
Refreshing Applemint Iced Tea – Refreshing, artistic, and gives you pleasant breath.
Ultimate Gluten-Free Iced Tea – Cashew milk, agave nectar...the works. Get tips on gluten-free baking here.
Liquor-Laced Greek Island Iced Tea – it’s not as stiff but it gives the Long Island a run for its money, flavor-wise.
Summer Peach and Ginger - this would be great with cobbler or a fruit tart like the Strawberry Rhubarb Tart or a little Blueberry and Nectarine Cobbler.
For a full summer menu, try pairing these refreshers with some quick and easy tapas.
How do you supercharge your iced tea? And more importantly...sweet tea -- yay or nay?

It's gotta be sweet tea, the glass must be packed with ice, a little squeeze of fresh lemon is optional.

Cynthia- do you mean she jars the actual brewed ice tea, or the tea leaves? If you're talking about actual brewed tea, she probably uses a canning method to do this. I am thinking that tea might not be acidic enough to process using the boiling-water method, so she might use a pressure canner to do this.

A friend of mine brought in flavored iced tea she received from a friend who cans it in jars for the year. Does anyone know how that is done to keep the fresh flavor?

McDonald's has $1 sweet tea going on right now, I think.
