Also known as Southern Sweet Tea
2 C boiling water
6 tea bags (suggested orange pekoe, or green tea)
3/4 C white sugar
6 C cold water
Steep tea bags in boiling water for about 15 mintues, add in white sugar while water is still very hot and stir until dissolved. Remove and discard tea bags. Add cold water, chill and serve over ice.
VARIATIONS: If using a black tea like orange pekoe, put a pinch of baking soda in the tea during steeping process. It will not alter flavour but will cut out the bitterness and darken the colour.
Adding some lemon slices is fine for black or green tea. Adding fresh mint to green tea gives a nice flavour.
