RE: Iced Tea - Tips and Recipes
I use brown sugar instead. Also put it some mint leaves and lemon while water is still hot for a fantastic taste!

Add a pinch of baking soda to the tea to take out the bitterness..while brewing.

RE: Iced Tea - Tips and Recipes
We go through two gallons of iced tea per day, so I make mine every night before I go to bed. I use an 8 quart pot. Start by putting as much sugar as you like (I use 1 1/2 cups) in pot. Add enough hot water to melt sugar, and stir. Put in 7 large tea bags and fill to about 3 inches from top. Let come to a roiling boil, turn off stove, let sit til morning, then pour into two 1-gallon pitchers. My hubby doesn't like lemon, so I just add the lemon to my glass before I pour the tea. Enjoy!

RE: Iced Tea - Tips and Recipes
When I make iced tea, this is my recipe: I usually put on a quart of water to boil and put my sugar in then. I use 1/2 cup (I have found that Splenda is fantastic used this way) of sugar. I then boil the water for 2 or three minutes to make a simple syrup. The sugar seems to get sweeter this way so you don't use a bunch of sugar. Drop in 8 tea bags and let it steep for 10 minutes or so. Then I put the mix into a pitcher, fill it with water, and pop it into the fridge. I don't like and cannot use lemon so have learned to drink the tea straight and it is so good. Just has to be refrigerated.

Koolaid and Iced Tea
Add a packet of unsweetened flavored drink mix (kool-aid) to a batch of iced tea for a great change. I love lemonade with tea. It makes a great tea cooler.
