Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 6 bags Luzianne Tea can use a family size bag instead
  • 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
  • 1 gallon water

Method
 

  1. Pour 1/2 of the gallon of water into a pot.
  2. Bring the water to a near boil. I like it to be hot and steamy, but not boiling.
  3. Remove from heat and add the tea bags, wrapping the strings around the pot handle so they don't fall in.
  4. Allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Remove the tea bags and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
  6. Add the remaining half gallon of water and stir again.
  7. Once cooled transfer the tea to a serving pitcher and serve over ice.
