Arnold Palmer Drink for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Remove from heat and steep your tea bags for 5 minutes. Note: Don't let them sit longer or the tea becomes astringent.
2. Remove tea bags immediately. Let the tea cool to room temperature on the counter, then pop it in the fridge until chilled. According to [Serious Eats](https://www.seriouseats.com), proper steeping times are critical to avoid over extracting tannins.
3. In a separate pitcher, whisk together the fresh lemon juice and granulated sugar. Keep whisking until the sugar crystals have completely dissolved and the liquid looks clear.
4. Stir in 3 cups of cold water. Mix until the lemonade is smooth and combined.
5. Fill four tall glasses to the brim with ice cubes.
6. Pour the chilled tea and the homemade lemonade into each glass at the same time. Do this until each glass is half full of each liquid.
7. Stir gently with a long spoon to integrate the two layers.
8. Garnish with lemon slices and a few mint leaves.
