Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons Rooibos Tea or 2-4 teabags
  • 2 Tablespoons black tea or 2-4 teabags (I have used English Breakfast and Darjeeling)
  • 1 quart boiling water
  • ¼ cup sugar or sweetener
  • 2 cups cold water
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 12 ounce non-alcoholic ginger beer (see note 2)

Instructions
 

  • Steep tea in boiling water for 10 minutes. Strain (or remove teabags), add sugar and stir to dissolve. Chill until cool.
  • Add remaining 2 cups water, lemon juice, and ginger beer.
  • Serve, adjusting sweetness if desired.

Notes

1) If you don't have a teapot, you can steep your tea in a saucepan. Just boil water in the saucepan, remove from heat, add tea and cover.
2) If you don't have Ginger Beer you can steep a few slices of ginger with the tea and add 12 ounces additional water.  You may need a couple Tablespoons of additional sugar then too.
