#3450 - Single Serve Iced Tea

(by Shirley McNevich)

8oz. filtered water
2 Lipton tea bags

In a microwave safe glass add the water--microwave on high until the water just starts to boil. Remove from microwave and add the tea bags. Let the tea bags steep for 4 minutes, then use a spoon to squeeze any liquid left in the tea bags before discarding them. Add white sugar or artificial sweetener to your taste--stir well to dissolve. Fill a large cup with ice cubes and pour the hot tea over the ice cubes--stir well. Note: you may want to add more sugar/sweetener than normal because the hot tea will get diluted when mixed with the melting ice cubes.
