Honey & Lemon Sweet Iced Tea

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 lemons
• 10 tea bags cold brew black
• 2 quarts water
• ice

1. Start by making a simple syrup. Combine the 1 cup of water with the sugar in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium high heat, stirring occasionally, until all of the sugar dissolves. The water does not have to boil, it should just look completely clear and free of any sugar crystals. Stir in the honey and let this mixture cool for at least 10 minutes
2. Add 2 quarts of water and a full tray of ice cubes to a pitcher. Squeeze in the juice of 1 lemon. Add the tea bags and let them steep for five minutes. I used 10 cold brew black tea bags
3. Remove the tea bags and stir in as much simple syrup as you like. I used the full amount and the tea was pretty sweet but not overly sweet in my opinion. If you like a less sweet tea, start with half of the mixture and go up from there.
4. Cut the second lemon into slices and add them to the pitcher. Serve the iced tea in glasses full of ice cubes and a slice of lemon, if desired!
