Ingredients
- 5 bags of strong tea (I recommend Irish breakfast)
- 1 quart filtered water or bottled spring water.
- Sugar to taste (we found 3 was good without being too sweet)
- 1 quart ice cubes (preferrably made from filtered or bottled spring water
Preparation
Step 1
Tie the tea bag strings together if applicable, and heat them in the water in a saucepan over medium heat until dark, steamy bubbles form on the bottom and sides of pan. For the best results, the temperature should be about 190° on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the pan from the stove and let the tea steep for a maximum of 3 minutes. Discard tea bags, then pour the tea into the pitcher. Stir in sugar until its dissolved, then stir in ice.
