Spiked Arnold Palmer (Lemonade Iced Tea)

An ideal drink for a summer afternoon that will please large groups. Preparation is very simple, even the tea infusion. Interestingly, I found this on the Huffington Post.

(To make simple syrup, mix equal parts sugar and water in a pot and heat while stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Let cool.)

Ingredients

• 2 cups tea-infused bourbon (see below)
• 1 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 1/4 cup simple syrup
• 3 cups ice water 
• Garnish: lemon wheels

Instructions

1. Infuse the tea: Combine 2 cups of bourbon and 5 spoonfuls of loose black tea or 5 tea bags. Let sit for 20 minutes, taste and let sit for longer if you think it needs to be stronger. It shouldn't taste bitter. Strain out the tea.
2. Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir. Refrigerate. When ready to serve garnish with lemon wheels and serve with iced glasses.
