Iced Tea
Ingredients
- 3 Family Size Tetly tea bags (Substitute 3 regular bags for each "Family Size")
- 5 cup almost boiling water
- 9 1/2 grains saccharin tablets (or 9 packets of Equal/Nutrisweet)
- 1/3 cup sugar
Instructions
(Serves approx 8). Add tea bags to near-boiling water; steep 10 minutes or longer. Pour tea off, rinse bags with additional cold water so as not to waste any tea. Add saccharin and sugar. Pour individual, ice-filled glasses 1/4 to 1/3 full of tea and adjust strength by judging color while adding water and tea as desired. Further adjustments may be made by adding sugar and/or lemon juice as appropriate. Note: Tea seems to be better if water is heated in stainless pan, rather than heavy aluminum. A sprig of peppermint leaf really tops it off quite well!
