The most appealing day to day drink for me no matter what is the Arnold Palmer. It starts with two lemons that along with sugar and water make home made lemonade. Next I turn on the teapot and make iced tea. I prefer Twinning’s black tea. After a little bit a sugar everything is set. Four ice cubes and half lemonade/half iced tea.
Not only is this drink cheap, it is very refreshing on a summer day and one can control how sweet they want it. That is what I like about making this drink the way I do. This is about control. I have control over the ingredients, if I want to add half a lime or make the tea stronger I do so.
The only thing I don't control is the price of lemons, sugar, and black tea. I don't assume those will change before Arizona Iced Tea increases their price on Arnold Palmers. If the price of the ingredients goes up, I assume it won't be by much. I also know what I am putting in my drink (without high fructose corn syrup).
I wouldn't say that Arizona Iced Tea is my rival because when I am far from home and I really want a good drink I buy their product, but when I have the resources in my kitchen I make an even better Arnold Palmer. I support the company only when I have to.
