Making Sweet Tea

I was asked to detail how I make sweet tea…so here we go !

1) Boil 2 quarts of water.

Cut heat, add 5 family sized tea bags for 5 minutes (box instructions say to use 4, I like mine a little stronger)

After 5 minutes, remove bags – squeeze if you want a little extra flavor.

Now – put 1 & 1/2 cups sugar in pitcher (or 3 “scoops” with my fancy utensils).

Now pour hot tea concentrate into pitcher.

Be sure to mix up/dissolve the sugar !!

Now – Get lots of  ice, add ice until you have a gallon.

Stir and Enjoy !!!!
