Ingredients
▢
12
regular tea bags
I used Lipton
▢
4
cups
1 quart boiling water
▢
12
cups
3 quarts cold water
▢
1 ½
cups
granulated sugar
▢
¼
teaspoon
baking soda
▢
Mint for garnish
if desired
Instructions
Put the baking soda into a gallon size pitcher.
Tie the tea bags together. This makes it easier to remove them once they're steeped. Place the tied tea bags into the pitcher with the baking soda.
Gently pour the boiling water over the tea bags.
Cover and allow to steep (soak) for 15 minutes.
Squeeze out the excess water in the tea bags and discard.
Add sugar to the tea and stir until dissolved.
Gently pour in the cold water.
Refrigerate.
Serve over ice and with fresh mint if desired.
