Iced tea

[vfrrider]

Here's the family formula.

A. Bring about a quart of water to almost a boil (i.e. listen for the sound of vapor).
B. Pour the very hot water into a quart glass tea pot with 2 family size Lipton teabags. Let steep for 3 minutes.
C. In a 1 gallon pitcher, add ice cubes unto 3/4 full. Now add 1 cup cane sugar (also called raw sugar).
D. Pour brewed tea over ice and stir. Add water back to tea pot and stir tea bags again.
E. Pour that into pitcher.

Should fill about 6-8 tall glasses. My wife insists that you place ice in glasses also.

I personally onlyuse about 1/2 a cup of sugar for jsut barel;y sweet.

On a hot day, this disappears daily.

Having lived up north also, I have always had trouble up there drinking hot tea.
