Love the recipe - this is the way we have always made ice tea though in the last few years I have come to enjoy sun tea. I remember in college to save money the first time I made tea I used tap water with the tea bags. The second go around I used hot tap water. The third time I used boiling water. I really got my money's worth out of the tea bag and saved some pennies which was the most important part. Ahhh, memories. Sometimes I still feel guilty if I throw tea bags out after only one use!
