#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.

#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.
