Ingredients

one gallon water (get the plastic jug)

8 tea bags (salada my fav)

1 cup sugar or to liking or use artificial sweetener

slice of lemon or orange per glass

mint leaves for additional garnish

Directions

In large pot bring water to boil

turn off

take tea bags and dunk them in holding onto ends

swirl and redunk for two to three minutes until water turns a nice dark brown

Leaving tea bags longer gives a bitter and dry-tongue taste

remove bags and discard

stir in sweetener until dissolved

let cool to warm and pour into plastic jug

cover and refrigerate (should keep fine for a week)

OR pour into a glass full of ice cubes and garnish with lemon/orange

add fresh squeezed lemon juice if you like it.

garnish with mint leaves

I too have put up our family recipe for iced tea. My kids are not fond of the mint or lemon, so I make a pretty bland tea. I really like yours!

replace two or three tea bags with a favourite mint tea in the bag. For other tea types consult package for brewing times.
