Copy Cat Passion Tea Lemonade

It is simple to make this and have it ready on hand.  I boil 8 oz of water in the microwave and then steep 2 bags of tea for 15 minutes.  While it is still warm, I stir in 2 spoons of sugar (you can use any sweetener and as much or as little as you want)  I give it a taste to make sure it is nice and sweet and then stick it in the fridge.

When you are ready for a glass, just fill your cup with ice, and pour in the tea and lemonade.  I like a ratio of 1 part tea to two parts lemonade.  That is how they make it at Starbucks.  You can play with it as much as you like.
