Modern (And Often Boozy) Takes On Iced Tea

In between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, June has its very own reason to celebrate -- it's National Iced Tea Month! Okay, so it's not exactly postage stamp material, but come summertime, iced tea is essential to keeping cool. And while steeping up a batch after batch of summery sun tea still quenches, we've rounded up a handful of cocktail and mocktail recipes that offer decidedly modern takes on the classic cooler.

Y'all can keep your 'white tea sangria'. That is NOT iced tea. I live in south Mississippi, and I know iced tea...sweet tea. The BEST!!!

You want an amazing iced tea ? Start with something called simple-syrup. You make this with one cup of sugar and one cup of boiling water. Simply add the boiling water to the sugar in a 24 ounce measuring cup and stir. Brew your tea, add some of it to a heat-proof tall glass. Pour in some of the simply-syrup, more if you like it sweet, less if not so sweet. Add ice cubes and 2 ounces of milk. Stir. Enjoy. Is like iced coffee only much more comforting....Alfred-
