“Wow, you must drink a lot of Tea”? yes, we do!
This is my recipe that we use to make 12 teabags for Keith artwork and a gallon of iced tea. Enjoy!
Perfect Iced Tea
Large Stock pot enough to hold 12 cups of water
12 cups tap water
12 Teabags (We use Lipton)
5 additional cups of cold filtered water (can also use tap water)
½ Cup Sugar (Optional)
¼ Cut Lemon (Optional)
Gallon jug
Put 12 cups tap water in a stockpot and put on high heat till steam starts to form on the top.
Remove from heat and place the 12 teabags and let steep for 10-15 minutes. (We preserve the tags so they don’t get wet, you can cut the tags off if you choose)
Remove teabags from hot water and place in bowl with 5 cups of filtered cold water
Place Sugar and Lemon in the stockpot and let dissolve.
We carefully remove teabags from water and place on a plate with paper towel and allow too completely dry. (You can discard the teabags)
Once tea is cool, pour tea from the stockpot and the 5 cups filtered water, into a gallon jug.
Place in the refrigerator for up to a week.
