6 tea bags, a cup and 1/2 of sugar brought to a boil and steeped about 20 minutes.We have decided to start making our own ice tea. Today I boiled water in a pan, threw in 5 tea bags, let it cool then chilled it in a jug.
It turned out OK, but was wondering if any of y'all had other ways to make it.
Thanks!
I boil water in a kettle and steep loose tea with honey in a huge 8 cup glass pyrex...
I let it steep until it reaches room temp then pour into a covered glass pitcher and refrigerate.
Do not add ice to the pitcher... Rather put ice in the glass and pour the fresh cold tea over ice...

Shaken not stirred?
I use the hottest water from my tap to melt the sugar faster...all in the pitcher. It's all very hot water, but not boiling. Then I add 7 lipton tea bags and let the tabs hang over the edge of the lip and screw the top back on where the pour spout is where it needs to be. Done.
Then when it cools off, I put it in the fridge with bags still in it.

Sure, shake it don't break it! And add a lemon wedge when it's time to serve...

Someone told me years ago never to use hot water from the tap for drinking or cooking because it resides in the tank and isn't fresh like cold water, and it can contain sediments picked up from the tank.

Use loose tea leaves. Bring to a boil, steep only a few minutes to keep from getting bitter. Strain them off in a strainer with the liquid going into a jug or pitcher. Add some fresh mint. Fill with water. Sweeten to taste.
Loose leaves make ALL the difference. My MILs was the best. She used McCormick tea, but I don't know if they make that any longer.

2 cups of sugar to how much water?
I use 1 cup to a gallon of water.
