Walnut Free Classic Arnold Palmer
Few drinks are as satisfying as a tall, ice-cold Arnold Palmer on a warm afternoon, and this homemade version absolutely delivers. The combination of freshly brewed black tea and bright, tart lemonade made with real lemon juice is so much better than anything that comes in a can or powder packet. Making a quick simple syrup ensures the sweetness blends in smoothly rather than settling at the bottom of the glass. The whole thing comes together in one pitcher, making it easy to serve a crowd or just keep in the fridge for whenever the craving hits. Garnished with lemon slices and fresh mint, it looks as good as it tastes. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there is absolutely nothing to second-guess — just pure, refreshing sipping.
