Iced Tea

Iced Tea

3 Family-size tea bags-I like Luzianne
3 quarts water
3/4 to 1 cup sugar

In a large pot, bring the water to a simmer. Remove pot from heat and add tea bags. Allow the tea bags to steep for 15 minutes. Remove the bags from the pot and stir in sugar. I use 3/4 cup of sugar because it is sweet but not too sweet. Make sure sugar is dissolved. Allow the tea mixture to cool to room temperature and pour into a clean gallon jug. Store in the fridge for a couple of days.

In the summer I like to add a couple of sprigs of fresh mint to the tea bags while they steep.
