The Art of Making Southern Sweet Iced Tea

so many people tell me that they can not make tea

In a sauce pot put 6 cups of water on the stove to boil.

 

Just as it starts to boil, turn off the heat and add 3 family size tea bags to water.

 

Let tea bags steep for 3 to 5 minutes.

 

Remove tea bags and add one to two cups of sugar to hot water, stir to dissolve sugar.

 

Fill a one gallon pitcher half full with ice and pour hot sweet tea over ice, stir to melt ice.

 

Add enough cold water to fill pitcher full.

 

Serve in a tall glass with ice and add lemon to taste.

Always best when shared with family and friends.
