Our family are big iced tea drinkers. Used to make it from scratch with a kettle of boilding water, 4 tea bags steep awhile in big tea pot, poured over a pitcher of ice cubes that had about 1/2 cup of sugar on them. We each had a large glass with a few ice cubes, squeezed a chunk of lemon in it and poured the tea on top. So refreshing and thirst quenching.
Nowadays I use an ice tea maker, skip the sugar and use Equal but never skip the lemon.
Sometimes when I have a meeting at my house or the gals over for lunch I make a flavored or herbal ice tea, most guys don't go for this type for the gals love it.
