Do you pour boiling water into a large container and then add sugar till it dissolves, then add the tea bags?
Do you put it all into the container together?
Does the container have to be glass or metal?
How much sugar do you add? Ever add Splenda instead of sugar?
What other ingredients do you add?
I buy the "Lipton Cold Brew" tea bags and "Sugar in the Raw" at Walmart. The way I make ice tea is I boil a small amount of water in a sauce pan and add 6 tablespoons of the sugar. Once the sugar is disolved, I add it to a 2-Qt hard plastic pitcher and fill the rest w/cold water, then I let it sit for a few minutes w/2 tea bags. Enjoy a refreshing glass of ice tea. Mmmmm
