  1. Put five family size tea bags in a pot of water.  Bring up to the boiling point and turn off. Let tea steep for about 10 minutes.  Put 2 cups (more or less depending on taste) sugar or splenda (depending on taste)  in a one gallon drink pitcher.  Remove tea bags from pot and discard.  Pour warm tea over sugar or splenda and stir to melt sweetner.  Add cold water to fill line on gallon pitcher and stir well to mix with tea/sweetner mixture.  Keep in refrigerator.


  2. I use Lipton's COLD BREW bags - which "brew" in cold water, on the counter, in 5 minutes.  You'll never get foam or scum on it either.  I use 4 large pitcher-sized bags per pitcher .....You can add lemon slices and/or fresh mint sprigs

  3. I boil about 4 cups of water, use 3 regular Tetly tea bags, then leave the jug sitting in the sun for about 2-3 hours, it

    seems to help them brew better. Add lemon juice, slices of lemon and some artificial sweetner

  4. I USE 4 FAMILY SIZE TEA BAGS WITH 2 CUPS OF WATER PUT IN MICROWAVE FOR 4 AND A HALF MINUTES.2/3 CUP OF SUGAR IN A GALLON JUG AND POUR IT IN THE JUG FILL WITH WATER TO SUITE YOUR TASTE

  5. 8 cups boling water - 4 tea bags - 1 orange sliced

    add all. let steep. leave oranges in and serve over ice

  6. The Twinings Tea Blog has weighed in on iced tea several times recently, including an overview and an article examining some of the many options available to fans of this drink. While those options also include a wide variety of bottled tea, there's no substitute - and nothing so economical - as making your own iced tea. There are several ways to accomplish this goal. Here are a few of them.

    One of the most popular and time-honored methods for making iced tea is simply to make hot tea and chill it. While this is nearly as simple as it sounds, there are a few variables that can affect the end result. Check out some pointers from Twinings, as well as an illustrated tutorial and this primer on making loose-leaf iced tea.

    For what's arguably an even simpler take on iced tea, consider the cold-brewing method. As the name suggests, it uses no heat. Here's a method that uses ice cubes to make shincha, a type of Japanese green tea. For more information, check out these articles from the Me and My Tea and Miro Tea blogs. iced tea, iced tea maker

    If you've always wished for a mechanical assistant that could do much of the work of iced tea making, you're in luck.
