Arnold Palmer Drink (Half Tea Half Lemonade)

Arnold Palmer is one of my favorite drinks during the summer months and I think a lot of people would agree! It’s definitely Michael’s favorite.

It’s refreshing. It’s sweet, but not overly so. It’s easy to make economically.

We often buy the Paul Newman brand at the store, which is delicious. But this time around, I decided I would try to make it at home. We had all the ingredients in our cabinet and fridge, so I thought that I may as well give it a go.

The result was delicious! And definitely not too sweet. If you like things sweeter, feel free to increase the sugar by a half a cup.
