Because I'm partial to Chai tea, this recipe from Food Network caught my eye:
Spicy-Spiked Iced Tea
4 orange Pekoe tea bags
Place tea bags in a small bowl or large measuring cup/batter bowl. Add three cups boiling water and steep tea for five minutes. Fill a large pitcher with ice cubes (five to six cups). Pour sugar over ice. Add lemon and orange juice, cinnamon stick and cloves. Pour hot tea over ice and stir with wooden spoon until most of the ice dissolves and tea has been quick-cooled. Serve or chill until ready to serve. When ready to serve, pour into a tall glass filled with more ice, a shot of light rum. Pour spicy iced tea through a strainer to remove the cinnamon, cloves and fruit pulp/pits. Fill glass with tea. Serve tea with extra sugar and lemon wedges.
The recipe originated from chef Rachael Ray, who hosts the 30-Minute Meals program on Food Network.
It is a beverage I'd love to drink during the day, so I think omitting the eight shots of rum would be acceptable. Besides, I'd hate to be pie-eyed before the sun sets . . .
