Get you an ice tea maker. I don't exactly follow the directions given. Here is my procedure and we love it. I brew the tea in the ice tea maker. Then I put a cup of sugar and some water in a microwavable pitcher, stir this up a bit and heat in microwave until sugar completely dissolves. We use a one gallon milk jug to storing the tea so I then pour the hot sugar mixture in the gallon jug. When the tea has completed it cycle, I pour the tea into the milk jug and fill the jug nearly full with tap water. Then I turn the jug a few times to mix the tea and finish filling with tap water. Store in the fridge and enjoy. My husband and I can drink a gallon of this sweet in two days time. I like the flavored teas so I often put a little blackberry syrup or raspberry syrup in mine. It is so, so delicious.
