Add some ice cubes and lemon slices in a glass. You can also add some mint leaves for added freshness.

Fill half cup with the stored mixture and remaining half cup with the cold water.

You can also buy an Iced Tea Premix if you don't have so much time or for the days when you are just lazy.

For such times I keep NESTEA at home. Also useful for unexpected guests during summers. You can buy it here. 👇
