Summer is my iced tea szn, and in the group chat, we got comparing recipes. A lot of the people in the chat make sun tea, but I'm lazy, so I just brew half a kettle of water with 7 tea bags, let it steep in a pot on the stove for 6 or 7 mins, then remove the tea bags and add another half-kettle of cold water. Let it sit in the fridge: literal cold tea. And unlike hot tea, which I absolutely need to have with milk and sugar, iced tea I have over ice with a splash of lemon juice, unsweetened.
(I like sweet iced tea, but I also don't need the sugar, so,)
Inexpensive, easy. Tastes great, even with the cheap brand of tea I keep around for the in-laws, who prefer it.
Summers are for cold drinks: iced coffee with a bit of milk in the morning, iced tea with lemon in the afternoon.
