[quote=Anonymous]I make excellent sweet tea.  I typed  up the recipe for a family cookbook a few years ago.  I also posted it on here back in 2019.

Recipe

This will make a gallon

Boil  2 or 3 cups of water. Once it is boiling good, put five family sized bags of Luzianne decaffeinated family sized tea bags in the pot of water. Dunk them in the water good, then immediately turn off the heat and remove the pot from the burner if you have an electric stove.
Let it sit there for 15 minutes.

Then leave the teabags in the pot, and pour the water from the pot into your pitcher. Then refill the pot with water, swish the teabags around a bit, and then put that liquid into the pitcher. Keep doing this until there is hardly any tea leaching out of the tea bags.

Don’t squeeze the tea bags. Okay, you can squeeze them a tiny bit, but I swear that when I squeeze the teabags really hard, it makes the tea taste bitter.

Okay, so now you are done with your tea bags. So throw them away. Now, refill the pot again with about two cups of water. Put 1 ¼ cups sugar into the pot. Return to the stove with your pot, turn on the burner, and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add the sugar to the pitcher.

Stir, add ice cubes and water until it all comes up to the one gallon mark on your pitcher.

Done. [/quote]
