Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 iced tea bags Luzianne or Lipton family sized
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 cups water boiling
  • water to fill your pitcher
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Steep the tea in your boiling water for 7 minutes. Do not press the bags, at most dunk them in the water to saturate them.
  2. In your pitcher, pour in the sugar and baking soda. Discard the tea bags and pour tea into the pitcher. Fill the pitcher with fresh water and stir to dissolve the sugar and soda.
  3. Taste, adjust water to make less sweet, more sugar for sweeter tea.
