I drink tea daily! I really want to give it up!. But here is what I do!.
Fill a pot with about 4-6 cups filtered water!. I put 16! Yes 16! tea bags in the pot with the water!. I see other say 4 tea bags but I think they are thinking of the large tea bags 1 bag=1 quart!.
Anyway 4 tea bags would be really really weak and gross!.
I let the tea bags boil with the water!. While it is boiling I add the sugar to the pitcher(if you choose)!. After the water boils I pour the water over the sugar using a spoon to keep the tea bags from falling into the pitcher!. Stir it so the sugar dissolves!. Fill the rest of the pitcher with cold filtered water!. Stir while filling!.
That is how I do it and I love it!
If you use the family size tea bags then you would use 4 bags!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

a rule of thumb to making iced tea with tea bags that you brew is 2 tea bags per cup!. brew it double strength essentially!. if you're making 1 gallon, then boil half a gallon, steep your tea (a few tea bags), let it sit for 5 minutes, take the tea bags out, then add cold water as the other half gallon to the tea mix (you could also substitute water for lemonade)!. add some ice cubes, lemonade, lemon slices, sugar, honey, or anything you like!. enjoy your iced tea!Www@FoodAQ@Com
Here is what I do--it's so easy!.
Put about 2 cups into a pan-boil the water!. Add between 5-8 tea bags (according to how strong you want your tea) let that boil with the tea bags in the pan for about 10 minutes!.
Then dump what is in the pan into a pitcher--then fill the pitcher up to the top with tap water--add sugar and there you have it--easy yummy tea!Www@FoodAQ@Com

use 9 teabags for the gallon but, only boil about 1 quart of water and let the 9 tea bags steep in that for 7 minutes, no longer or it gets bitter!. Then add that to your container with cold water!. it tastes the same and is much faster to make because you're not trying to boil 1 gallon of water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
When you boil about a gallon let the water boil and then turn off put about 3 tea bags in it!. Sometimes I use 4 if its alil more than a gallon of water!. Let steep (sit) about 45 min!. then let it cool alil before you put it in frig!. If you do pour the hot tea in a glass make sure there is a spoon it it!. It is suppose to keep the glass from breaking!. Hot and cold cubes together will make glass break!. Or just wait till it cools a bit!. Hope that helped!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
