Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Pour tea concentrate into a 1-gallon pitcher and top with remaining water and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until chilled. Serve over ice.
Notes
For a less sweet drink: add ⅔ cup of sugar.
For a sweeter drink: add up to 1.5 cups of sugar.
Storage: Arnold Palmer has the best flavor within 1 day of preparing, but will keep for 3-4 days before flavor starts to taste "off".
Optional garnishes: Add lemon/orange slices or fresh mint to glasses before serving.
