For Sweet Ice Tea:
3 Family Size Lipton Tea Bags
Water
1 3/4 cup Sugar
Put water in your saucepan and don't quite bring to a boil but bring it to that point right before boiling!. Take it off of the stove top and let it set for at least 11 minutes!. I don't know what happens in those 11 minutes but it makes a world of a difference!. Place the sugar into a 3 quart pitcher!. Pour the warm tea over the sugar and stir, make sure you stir the sugar before adding the rest of the water!. Then add the rest of your water and continue stirring until you have a total of 3 quarts!. also, make sure you have a lid for your pitcher, if not the tea will absorb the scents of other products in your refrigerator and will taste old after only a couple days, if you have a lid the tea will taste like new for a week!
