Sweet Tea Recipe: Tricia’s Heavenly Sweet Tea

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure

This is a delicious summer drink. Every time I make this for a gathering, I get all kinds of oohs and ahhs. It’s definitely going to make you think twice about buying bottled tea again.

I was lucky enough to get the recipe from a wonderful gal, Tricia, who goes to my church and it’s one of her family recipes (don’t worry, I got permission to share). I bet after you try it, you’ll find it a recipe worth passing along as well!

Tricia’s Heavenly Sweet Tea

INGREDIENTS

6 Lipton Tea Bags

2 springs fresh mint

1 cup granulated sugar

1 (6 oz) can of lemonade

2 (11.5 oz) cans Apricot Nectar (find this in juice aisle, I prefer Kern’s Apricot Nectar about $1.25-$1.50 a can)
PRINT a coupon for $0.50 off a six pack of Kern’s Nectar

2 tsp almond extra

Place teabags and mint in a pottery or glass pitcher and pour in two (2) cups of cold water. Bring a kettle with three (3) cups of water to a rolling boil. Pour boiling water over teabags and cover with a small plate (or lid), steep for 10-15 minutes. Remove the teabags and mint and add the sugar, until dissolved, continue to add the remaining ingredients and three (3) additional cups of water. Server cold over ice.

    Is the lemonade concentrate or regular? I’m excited to try this recipe, thanks for sharing it!

      I’ve used both and it tastes great. I think the original intent was regular.

    This looks so yummy! Do you think it would be much different if I omit the almond extract? My husband is allergic to nuts. 🙁

      You can always give it a shot. I love the almond part of it, so I’m not sure. Let me know what you think!

Queen Bee has been my go to for many years. Not only how to save on the family grocery budget. But, how to shop. From grocerys to clothes to household. She has saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars cumulatively over the years. Thank You! Debby F.

Queen Bee has been one of my favorite pages to follow! A friend kept sharing her deals so I had to start following and I’m so glad I did. I have been able to purchase so many items at great prices because of her posts. She is great about commenting back to questions or even just saying thanks to people who let her know they picked up an item she posted! Christine R.

Queen Bee is an amazing site with great deals no doubt, but my favorite parts are the snippets of silliness, morning coffee, amazing second hand finds. Queen Bee has saved me lots of money, but it's also brightened many a days! Tilla H.

Queen bee has helped me to make Christmas awesome for my kids every year. We follow the blog and are able to stay in budget and get twice as many items for the family. They are the best!! Jessica T.

Can always count on QueenBee for great deals from many different stores ! She's always keeping us well informed, saved a lot throughout the years, been following for a good 7 years ! Cathy L.
