Can you help me make better home brewed iced tea?!
When I make it at home it never tastes as good as the restaurants!.
I would like to make 1/2 to 1 gallon (unsweetened) each time!.

I use lipton tea bags!.!.!.
place 3/4 Glass pitcher water with 6 teabags in the sun leave for a few hours
(saran wrap with a rubber band on top or use jar with lid)
bring inside later and fill rest of jar with ice and sugar and stir!.
or heat 2 cups water to boil in microwave or on stove, and add tea bags
brew strong then add to jar filled with ice and then water and add your strong brew and sugar to your liking!.
tea is so refreshing- I recommend looking for a black currant tea mix, very tasty!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

i usually use Luzianne family tea bags!. They're larger tea bags and supposedly make 32 oz of tea per bag!. But since I like mine stronger I use two!. Here's what I do:
boil about 20oz of water
pour boiling water into a glass (16 oz)
brew 4-6 minutes depending on your taste
take the tea bags out (you'll notice that water has been retained into bag which is ok!. Don't squeeze)
pour this tea concentrate into a glass pitcher
add filtered water to taste!. (usually around 3 more full glasses of water)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here's what I do:
4 family size tea bags
1 quart water
Bring the water to a boil in a medium pot!. When it starts rolling, turn off the heat and add the teabags!. Let it steep for 5 minutes, pour into a large pitcher and stir in a pinch of baking soda (really just a pinch)!. Add enough water/ice to make a gallon!. The baking soda neutralizes the slight bitterness that can happen in iced tea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I LOVE my tea! I fill a pan with water, add 6 of your favorite tea bags!. I also add 2 Plantation Mint tea bags to mine (trust me, it's amazing! You can get them at almost any grocery)!. Put on med heat and steep for about 15 min!. Empty into pitcher, straining the tea bags out!. Fill with filtered cold water, and ENJOY! For an extra special treat I also put a slice of lemon in my glass!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I just use about about 1/2 as much water (really hot)as I want tea to start with, with two family size ice tea bags and let it sit for over an hour and then fill the pitcher the rest of the way up with ice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
