*Lemonade Note: We tested a few different homemade lemonade recipes (Food52 has quite a few good ones) as well as using store bought Simply Lemonade - it all comes down to how much acidity you prefer to sweetness. A fun presentation and alternative approach to this recipe is to place lemon slices on the bottom of every glass and muddle it with simple syrup or a bit of white cane sugar and then pour water or sparkling water to fill half way up the glass and then top the other half off with Big Hibiscus Iced Tea.
