Darlin, Grandma taught you good. Boiled water and a squeezed tea bag is a surefire way to ruin a good jug of tea.

The sugar is right on!

Of course to be 'offical' and all that, you have to pronounce it like we do, which is..swayt tay

Hey there, this is sort of how I make my "tay". I don't boil the water I just let it get to almost boiling on the stove then pour in a container and then put the tea bags in to steep for at least half an hour but if it stayes in longer that's OK too. LOL

I make my tea similiar but way less sugar. I like sweet, but not overly sweet. I use 3/4 cup to 1 cup per gallon. I love making sun tea. I make my tea that way in the summer. Thanks for posting your recipe.
