Recipe by From the Kitchen of Jillian Harris

Ingredients

• 3 3 tea bags of your choice

• 3 3 lemons

• 13 ounces 13 peach vodka

• 1 1 peach

• 8 cups 8 water

• Simple Syrup

• 1/2 cup 1/2 sugar

• 1/2 cup 1/2 boiled water

Directions

• Simple Syrup
• Combine 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar and bring to a boil and stirring until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
• Hey Y’alls
• Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a kettle and steep 3 tea bags of your choice (we used Teatly Pure Ceylon Tea). Once the tea has slightly cooled pour it into your preferred jug (we left the tea bags in, but you can take them out if you wish). It should fill up to about the halfway mark. Once the simple syrup has cooled pour it into the jug and stir. Fill the remainder of the jug with ice.
• Pour in 13 ounces of peach vodka, if you are looking for a stiff drink you can pour in a little extra, really however much your heart desires. Squeeze in lemon juice from one lemon and stir.
• Cut remaining lemons and peach into wedges and add to the pitcher.

Well there you have it, it’s as easy as that! We hope you LOVE this refreshing hard ice tea recipe just as much as we loved making (and drinking!) it … LOL!
