Long Island Iced Tea

Ingredients:
4 Assam tea bags
4 cups of water
1½ cups of chilled syrup
2 teaspoons raspberry vinegar
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Directions
For the syrup:
1¼ cups of water
1 1/3 cup of sugar honey

To prepare the syrup:
In a saucepan bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring it continuously until sugar is completely dissolved. Let the syrup cool and chill, keeping it covered. Syrup may be made 2 weeks ahead and chilled. This makes about 2 cups.

To prepare the tea:
Put tea bags in a heatproof pitcher. Bring water to a boil and put in the tea bags. Steep tea for 5 minutes and remove the tea bags. Cool the tea and chill it for about an hour until cold. Stir in the syrup and vinegar. Squeeze lime wedges into tea and add wedges. Serve tea over ice in tall glasses.
