Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Nothing is better than some southern sweet tea on a hot day (or any day for that matter)! I know how to make tea, but I thought I would just write it down in case someone wanted to know or just to jog my own memory...

_________________________________________

2 large Lipton "yellow-label" tea bags (black or orange Peko tea)
3/4 cups sugar
1 beverage container
2-3 cups water

Boil water on highest setting of stove. While waiting for water to boil, sugar in beverage container. Use a clothespin to secure tea bags to side of container. When water is ready, pour into beverage container (watch out for the steam!).

Stir water for 1 minute until sugar is dissolved and bob tea bags in water for additional 1 minute to release more antioxidants. Let steep for 1 hour, then remove tea bags.

Add cool water from sink until beverage fills the container and place in fridge until you're ready to drink!
