Drinking Arnold Palmer

My favorite summer drink is half iced tea, half lemonade. It wasn't until a couple days ago did I find out that this concoction has been named an Arnold Palmer. I had been calling it half and half, or special tea.

And apparently this is the deal.....
"For those of you who don't know what an "Arnold Palmer" is, it's a mix of lemonade and iced tea. This combination has been legendary for years.........."

One of Palmer's favorite drinks allegedly is a combination of half iced tea and half lemonade, a drink which is often referred to as an "Arnold Palmer" in his honor. It is now available under the name "The Original Arnold Palmer Tee"

Anyway, here is a recipe my friends mother gave to me, and no it is not called and Arnold Palmer. It is called Special Tea.
