Preparation

Step 1

Fill a one gallon pitcher with 8 cups of cold water; set aide. Boil the remaining 8 cups of water, add tea bags and steep for 6 minutes. Lightly squeeze the tea bags, remove and compost or discard. Whisk in the sweetener until fully dissolved. Carefully add the tea concentrate to the cold water, stir and set aside to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until the tea is fully chilled and flavor develops, before serving.

Substitute your own favorite sugar replacement, however, you'll have to make adjustments to taste for those, because they aren't always cup for cup replacements for granulated sugar. I often use Truvia or Domino Light which is a granulated sugar and Stevia blend.
