Ingredients

water

9 tea bags

2 C. sugar

Directions

Fill a medium size pot about 3/4 full of water.

Put the sugar in the bottom of a 1 gallon pitcher.

Heat the water to where tiny little bubbles are starting but not boiling.

Pour the water into the pitcher with the sugar, stir to dissolve the sugar then add the tea bags.

Put some kind of cover on the pitcher and let this stand for 30 minutes.

When the 30 minutes is up carefully remove the tea bags but do not squeeze out any water.

Add more water to make 1 gallon.

Stir well.

Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, pour some tea and enjoy.

Awwww, I kill for a glass of this right now. ANother quirky thing about living in IL, the first time I ordered tea here I asked the waitress if the tea was sweetened or unsweetend, she looked at me like I was an idiot. My hubby quickyly explained that they do not serve sweet tea here. And I thought I was the hillybilly, lol. They just don't cook here the way they do down South, I miss it too.

I live on tea. Some of my friends from up North had never had sweet iced tea until coming to VA. They only had hot tea. Sweet iced tea on a hot summer day is the best.

Sweet tea love it. Went to see some friends in IL and asked for sweet tea. The server got me some tea alright and first gulp I took...I did not know what to do held it in my mouth for a while and then finally swallowed it. It was horrible. Asked the server again for sweet tea and she gave me a look! Finally my friend mentioned that they do not serve sweet tea. What a disappointment..she moved from Nc to Il. I love it annd the recipe makes me want to make some. Thanks
