Method
Beverage
Brew and cool tea
Brew 1.5 cups strong black tea (use 1 tea bag per 8 oz/ cup or 1.5 tsp loose leaf). Steep for 3–5 minutes depending on desired strength, then remove tea bags or strain leaves. Allow tea to cool to at least room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.
Prepare lemonade
If using fresh lemonade: combine freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup to taste. For 1.5 cups finished lemonade, mix about 1/2 cup lemon juice with 1 cup water and 2–3 tbs simple syrup, adjusting sweetness. Alternatively use store-bought lemonade chilled.
Combine tea and lemonade
In a pitcher or large mixing glass, combine 1.5 cups cooled black tea with 1.5 cups chilled lemonade. Stir gently to integrate. Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter, add up to 1 tbs simple syrup; for brighter acidity add up to 1/2 tbs fresh lemon juice.
Ice & Garnish
Fill a serving glass with about 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the mixed Arnold Palmer over the ice. Garnish with a lemon wheel or wedge on the rim and, if desired, a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
