61. Fresh Lemon Iced Tea

Iced Tea was an integral treat in my childhood.
Having grown up, I still like to indulge in a glass of iced tea now and then, and especially appreciate the versatility of the drink.
Herbal tea bags may replace traditional red tea bags. As can green tea, or any other tea.
Saccharine or honey may replace the sugar, depending on how health or figure-conscious you want to be.
Various flavorings may be used instead of lemon... one may have a look at the supermarket isle for inspiration: peach, cherry...
This is really just the basic idea, which is delicious as is or may easily be developed upon according to taste.
