Everyone loved this refreshing mellow ice tea
Mom had her annual family barbecue yesterday and aside from bringing my all-time favorite deviled eggs and jelly roll and a gluten-free, dairy-free trifle for my aunt (I'll post the recipe later), I also brought my ginger-mint lemon ice tea which was another great hit.

Here is the simple recipe:

Slice the frozen organic lemons (Whenever there is a great deal on organic lemons I pop them whole with the peel on in a freezer bag and they freeze wonderfully. They slice easily with only a 10 minute thawing on the counter and they act as ice cubes as well)
Place all other ingredients in a large glass jar and pour the tea over top, stir and add ice cubes.
Refrigerate.
Refrigerate.
Soooo good!
