Ingredients
10 to 14 Medium lemons
14 ounces Granulated sugar
4 cups Cold-brewed black tea
as needed Ice cubes
for serving Fresh lemon slices for garnish
Directions
Wash the lemons thoroughly under cool running water and pat them dry with a clean towel. This removes any dirt or residue from the skin.
Cut the lemons in half and juice them using a citrus juicer or reamer, pressing firmly to extract all the liquid. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove pulp and seeds.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with 1 cup of cold water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar completely dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Pour the cooled simple syrup into the pitcher with the fresh lemon juice and stir well to combine. Add 4 cups of water to the lemonade mixture and stir until uniform.
Pour the 4 cups of cold-brewed black tea into the pitcher with the lemonade and stir gently to blend the two components evenly throughout the mixture.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the Arnold Palmer mixture over the ice. Garnish each glass with a fresh lemon slice and serve immediately.
