Here's a classic recipe:

- 1/2 cup lemonade (tweak it to your taste, but let the tea's enchanting taste dominate)
Preparation:
- Brew the tea: Choose black tea or any other kind that tickles your fancy. Make sure it's unsweetened, so you can control the sugar level.
- Chill that tea: Allow the brewed tea to cool down naturally or refrigerate it before continuing.
- Mix it up: Combine chilled tea with lemonade in a pitcher or glass. For an authentic flavor, go with a two-thirds tea to one-third lemonade ratio.
- Ice, ice baby: Fill glasses with ice to chill the drink further.
- Garnish: Add a flashy lemon wedge or slice for presentation.
