Iced Teaquila is one of those drinks that makes you think of summer – a long, lazy day on the beach where you are engrossed in the best summer novel ever and you’re soaking up all that Vitamin D by being out in the sun.  But, you need an alcoholic beverage to help you with that beautiful summer day.  Well, here it is.

Where I live – in Southeast Georgia –  Sweet Tea is a dietary staple.  Well, what’s the next best thing – Sweet Tea – Earl Grey style – that gets its sweetness from Guava Nectar and a little bit of sugar.  It just so happens to have a bit of Silver Tequila thrown in.

I’ve been making this for, at least, 10 years.  When something is this good, it never goes out of style.  My mother, who always sends me recipes, (love that), sent me this one and I can’t say where it originated from. But, it’s all over the internet.  The latest one I saw was on www.foodandwine.com, so I guess they can have the credit here.

So super easy.  The hardest part is slicing a lemon.  You can do this!
