ICE TEA

Last summer we were hooked on Arizona Ice Team half and half. It was half tea and half lemonade. I don't remember if it had any sugar in it. We would buy a two gallon jugs for $5.00 when it was on sale. When the summer ended I still felt like drinking ice tea instead of soda. So I decided to try again making ice tea from scratch. Every time I have done it in the past I never liked it. I have finally got the recipe down pat. Six decaffeinated tea bags in a two quart heat resistant glass pitcher. Pour boiling water on them and cover with plastic. I use to a this point put the pitcher in the refrigerator but I discovered that letting it steep on the counter was much more effective. I let it sit until it was room temperate then I put in in an air tight container. When ready to serve pour into a glass full of ice. I make sure I always have sliced lemons in he frig. Perfect tall glass of ice tea.
