Sweet Lime Iced Tea

What's more Southern than sweet iced tea? I've lived in Florida all my life, yet I'm not a huge fan of the overly sweet iced tea that is popular here in the South. My grandma has made this version of lime tea for as long as I can remember and it is the best! Not too sweet, and not too bitter, and the fresh lime juice — amazing!
