Directions

1 family-size or 4 regular iced tea bags

Ingredients

1 quart boiling water
4 limes, quartered
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 cup white rum
Ice, for serving

Place the tea bag(s) in an iced tea jar or large pitcher. Pour the boiling water over the tea bag and let steep for at least 5 minutes.

While tea steeps, muddle the limes and the sugar in a medium bowl, until the sugar dissolves and the lime releases its juice.

After steeping, remove tea bags from the jar. Carefully add the lime/sugar mixture using a large spoon. Stir well to combine. Add the pomegranate juice and chill for at least 1 hour.

Just before serving, add the rum and stir to incorporate. Serve over ice.

Awesome Tea
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a very good recipe and easy to make. I squeezed the limes and it was very tasty. Next is to try it without the... sugar for the friends who are on diets and can add there own as needed. Looking forward to making more.Read more

My new favorite ice tea
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a nice change from the traditional sweet ice tea which I do still love. I removed the limes before I chilled it in... the fridge so the tea wouldn't have a bitter after taste. I also added more sugar because I am from down south, and we like our tea sweet. But the rum was a nice twist...all my friends love it.Read more

something different
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I was excited to make this tea. It was hard to taste the tea and pomegranate which I attribute to the overpowering nature of... the limes--maybe a few less limes? It was still a tasty drink. When I make it again, I'll use at least one less lime and maybe more tea.Read more

Refreshing, delicious and easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought the Chica Tea recipe was easy and very refreshing and tasty!I served it with fajitas and bean dip and it was a... hit!I like that the recipe makes a pitcher full and can be served to guests right from the container it was made in. I used a margarita pitcher and left in the limes and used alot of ice and it looked as good as it tasted. I think it would also look festive with added orange and lemon slices or even strawberries. I'm looking forward to having it again.Read more
