Ingredients

Directions

  1. Make the ice: Pour the lemonade into ice cube trays. Add 1 mint leaf to each cube. Freeze at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Make the sweet tea: In a medium pot over high heat, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep the tea 5 minutes, then remove the tea bags. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. This will be the concentrated base of your tea.
  3. Add the tea mixture to a pitcher filled with ice. Top it off with 4 cups water. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
  4. Divide the lemonade ice cubes among 6 tall glasses. Pour the vodka over the ice cubes and top with the sweet tea. Garnish with the mint sprigs.
