Rather than diluting we are amplifying. We infuse and flavor many ingredients from vinegar to bourbon. We even flavor our lemonade with fruits, herbs and spices. Somehow it never crossed our mind to cold brew tea in lemonade. Instead of diluting both elements, as in a half and half (or an Arnold Palmer if you're a golf fan), we build with them. Taking the idea to the table we put two Earl Grey tea bags and one Chamomile-Lemongrass tea bag in a bottle of lemonade. We will let them steep in the refrigerator overnight. Tomorrow we will taste. We should have the full strength of the lemonade balanced by the full strength of the tea. Not everything needs to be more difficult. Not everything needs to take twice as long. That said, everything must be as delicious as we can make it.
