Chilled Apple Tea

Chilled Apple Tea:

2 cups water
4 Darjeeling black tea bags
2 tablespoons honey
2 cups 100% apple juice
1 lemon, sliced

Preparation:
Pour boiling water into tea cup and add tea, let steep for 3 to 5 minutes, until the tea is strongly brewed. Squeeze out the tea bag before you throw it away keeping in mind the bags will be very hot.
Pour the tea into a glass pitcher, adding the honey, Apple Juice, and squeezed lemons. Stir well and let chill before serving. For a frozen treat, blend with 4 or 5 ice cubes prior to serving.

Two things:
A) be sure to always stir this well before you serve or all the good stuff will be on the bottom.
B) I don't sweeten things too often so if it taste bitter to you or two tart you can always add more honey (or sugar) and add only 1/2 of a lemon.
