Grown-Up Kool-Aid

Drinks
Written By Rob Van Wyen

Serves 8 • Time 10 mins

This pitcher drink is something between Kool-Aid and an Arnold Palmer. It’s tart, a little sweet and super refreshing. Perfect on it’s own over ice, or you could totally spike it if you felt so inclined.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups water

  • 8 bags Raspberry Zinger tea

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • Ice for serving

Notes, Tips, & Tricks:

I brew this drink strong on purpose, so that it can be poured at room temperature over ice and taste just right. If you’re planning to make it in advance and serve it cold, you can use 6 tea bags instead of 8, or just add a little extra splash of water on top.

Let’s Do It

Step 1

Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Turn off heat. Add tea bags, and steep for 6 minutes. Remove tea bags.

Step 2

Stir in sugar and lemon juice, letting the sugar dissolve. Let mixture cool to room temperature, then pour over ice to serve.
