Ingredients for Southern Fruit Tea:

• Water
• Family size tea bags (Luzianne is my favorite)
• Sugar
• Pineapple/orange juice concentrate
• Lemonade concentrate 

How to make Fruit Tea:

1. First, in a medium saucepan bring 2 cups water to a boil. Once the water is boiling steadily, add the tea bags and remove from heat. Then  let it stand for 5 minutes.
2. After the tea has steeped, remove all of the tea bags.
3. Then add the sugar and stir it until it is all dissolved. After the sugar is completely dissolved, pour into a gallon sized pitcher.
4. Next, stir in the pineapple/orange juice and lemonade concentrates.
5. Then add the remaining water and stir everything well.
6. After everything is mixed together, pour over ice to serve and enjoy!
