Ingredients
- 32 ounces filtered water (4 cups)
- 2-3 large tea bags*
- 32 ounces ice (4 cups), plus more for serving
- lemon slices for garnish
Instructions
- Bring water to a simmer or just under a boil, and add tea bags. Remove from heat and let it steep for no longer than 3-5 minutes. Meanwhile, add the ice to a large pitcher that can hold at least 2 quarts.
- Remove the tea bags from the pot (don't squeeze - this can result in bitter tea) and pour the hot tea over the ice. Stir vigorously for a few minutes until most of the ice has melted.
- Serve immediately over ice, as desired, with fresh lemon. Store remaining tea in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Notes
*Large Tea Bags: marketed specifically for iced tea, however, you can use regular black tea bags (or another variety). The large tea bags I use have 6 grams of tea per bag.
If using tea bags with tags, snip them off before placing in the pitcher. 3 regular tea bags = 1 large tea bag (generally)
- If using tea bags with tags, snip them off before placing in the pitcher.
- 3 regular tea bags = 1 large tea bag (generally)
- *Adjust: add an extra tea bag for stronger tea, and reduce by 1 bag for weaker tea.
- Make sweet tea by adding simple syrup or a sweetener of choice.
