#927 - Homemade Iced Tea (Sweet Tea)

(by Shirley McNevich)

9 regular sized Lipton tea bags
1 cup white sugar

Boil a little more than 3 cups of water in the microwave. In a 1 quart saucepan add white sugar. Place tea bags on top of the white sugar and hang the tags out over the edge of the pan. Pour three cups boiling water on top of tea bags and white sugar (hold the tags while pouring or they will fall in). Still holding the bags, stir until white sugar completely dissolves. Let the tea sit for 15 minutes with tea bags still in it. After 15 minutes, squeeze out the tea bags and discard them. Pour the tea into a 1 gallon pitcher, and add enough cold water to make 1 gallon total--stir.

Try this . Southern style sweet tea (taste like McDonalds sweet tea).
Boil 1 gallon of water. Add just a tad under 2 cups of sugar. Dissolve. Take off burner and add 6 Lipton standard sized tea bags. Cover and let sit for 60 minutes . Refrigerate in tea jug after.
