Sweet Tea Recipe

Ingredients

6 – cups water
3 – tea bags, regular sized (such as lipton)
sugar to taste
4 – trays, ice

Mixing Instructions

Pour 6 cups of fresh cold water into your pot and add tea bags. Bring water to a boil. Remove pot from heat and let the tea bags steep in the water for 10-15 minutes.

Pour tea into an empty pitcher. Add sugar to taste and stir until sugar is dissolved. I usually start off with about 4 ounces of sugar and adjust to taste. Fill the remaining pitcher with about 4 trays of ice. This should yield about 10 cups of tea.

Enjoy your refreshing glass of tea.
