Ingredients
  

  • 6 bags Luzianne Tea can use a family size bag instead
  • 1 cup Organic Cane Sugar
  • 1 gallon water

Instructions
 

  • Pour 1/2 of the gallon of water into a pot.
  • Bring the water to a near boil. I like it to be hot and steamy, but not boiling.
  • Remove from heat and add the tea bags, wrapping the strings around the pot handle so they don't fall in.
  • Allow the tea to steep for 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the tea bags and add the sugar, stirring until it dissolves.
  • Add the remaining half gallon of water and stir again.
  • Once cooled transfer the tea to a serving pitcher and serve over ice.
