How do you make your iced tea?
Answers: I have a 2 quart sun tea jar (with lid). I put water in the jar and drape 3 tea bags over the side so that the bags are in the water, and the strings will be held by the lid. Put the lid on, and set the jar in a window sill facing the sun. It's done in 3 to 4 hours. Remove and discard the bags, and put the jar in the fridge. When you want a glass, put some ice cubes in it, and add the tea. Simple. No cooking, no hassle. wit ice and tea haha just joking boil a pot of water with the tea back in them. Seep the tea bags for several minutes then put the tea into a pitcher, sit it out in the sun and then refrigerate. When I make my iced tea, I usually am making it in large quantities to last the whole week. I boil water and then pour it over about 10 family size tea bags - mind you I like my tea pretty strong. Once the bags have brewed, and the water cooled down a bit, I add the tea to my jug and cool water. Depending on if you like sugar or honey or lemon or whatever, I add it next. Refrigerate and you have a great tea!
