I found the best iced tea invention ever last summer in Canada. It is a plastic container that brews up to 18 oz. of tea. Then when you set the container on a glass of ice, the tea drains into the glass. The one I have is called Brew-T ( http://www.brewts.com/thebrewt ) and I had to order mine on the internet since no one had them in stock. So, this is not a sweet tea recipe, but I can now use any kind of tea bag to make my tea. English Breakfast for mornings when it is too hot to drink coffee and Sleepytime for bedtime. I can make lemon tea or Constant Comment or… You get the idea.

And by the way, you guys sound like a fun family!

Six tea bags in a teapot of hot water any size.
Let sit in the water for at least 5 minutes.
Mix 3/4 of a cup of sugar into water until sugar desolves.
Put tea mixture in a 2 quart pitcher and sugar mixture into pitcher.
Add water to the top.
Pour over ice in a tall glass.

You may need to increase or decrease sugar to taste.

We are big tea drinkers but most Texans are

Tell the husband he has me driving down the road laughing!
Here is how I make iced tea. Take a small pan (1-2 quart) and fill half full with cold water and add 2 family size tea bags. Bring to a boil and remove from heat and cover with a lid. It will be bitter if you actually let it stay on the stove. Make sure you let it set for at least 5 minutes (for increased caffeine). I use 10 small sweet ‘n low packs for a gallon of tea but some of my kids use 1 1/2 or 2 cups of sugar in theirs. I will refrigerate over night only one day. After that, the taste is dramatically different (bad) and I throw out what is left.

I like SUN TEA… take 5-6 of your favorite tea bags throw them into a big tea glass jug. Put out on the deck in the sun in the am when you come home in the evening sugar and ice down. I always have a big jug or two going through the summer.

I sometimes make mint tea if I can pick enough fresh mint from the garden.

I am a HUGE Lost fan. Needless to say, I have not done a lot of quilting this week.

Here is my iced tea “recipe” – if you can call it that.

I use a 1 gallon jug and Lipton Cold Brew tea bags.

I run my hot water until it is fully hot – I have kids so we keep the water slightly below 120 degrees. Fill the jug about 1/4 way with the hot water. Put in 4 tea bags and let sit for 30 min to an hour. Remove the tea bags and add 1 1/2 cup sugar; stir until sugar is dissolved. Fill up the rest of the gallon with cold water and stir until mixed.

Whenever I make tea, it rarely lasts through the night. When there is tea in the fridge then that is what everyone is drinking.
