Black Rainbow ice Tea

 April 5, 2012! Finally feels like spring. Could not resist making real ice tea, with a twist. it's actually a variation of the Black ice Tea lemonade that Starbuck's sells ( but why give them the business, when you can make the exact same thing!)

BLACK RAINBOW ICE TEA
5 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
1 can PINK lemonade
Pitcher ( not crystal) full of ice
3 tea bags ( not the herbal stuff.....plain old tea, decaf if you must)

Place sugar, can of lemonade  and tea bags on bottom of pitcher. Top up with ice. Boil water, then pour over ice. Let sit to steep. Do not stir, untl you want to serve. It will have a rainbow effect. This is wonderful stuff. I make it all the time. I am lucky enough to have an ice tea maker which will boil the water and dip into the pitcher  on command.  This also good to just use sparingly in a glass of ice water. Gives the water a lift.
