Refreshingly Cool Almond Tea

Submitted by Ducky

"Had this at a potluck and it was wonderful. I am not a tea drinker but this cold drink is great on a hot summer day. And it is easy to make! Add the vodka to make it an adult drink. Note: Take a 64 oz can of pineapple juice and freeze it in 1 C portions for quick preparation all summer."

This is a unique tasting drink. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially after letting it set in my freezer for an hour. A few things I did differently but nothing major. Steeped one green tea bag in place of the instant tea. (was making this for one serving). In place of pineapple juice, used tropical tangerine flavor from Tropicana. And omitted the vodka. Adding the vanilla and almond really brought great flavor to this drink Ducky. Thanks for posting this as it is a very good go-to drink for something different from the ordinary lemonade/ice tea combo's. Made for NewestZaarTag.~
