Pomegranate Citrus Iced Tea

By Taste of Lime

This iced tea gets its deep, rich color from pomegranate juice and black tea. Orange and lime add a sweet-tart citrusy flavor. Both pomegranates and black tea contain high amounts of antioxidants, making this a healthy drink option. It’s a great alternative to sugary sodas.

Tip

Let the tea cool down before adding it to a glass pitcher. This will prevent the hot liquid from cracking the glass.
