4-5 family size tea bags.....black tea or any iced tea blend
boil water in a saucepan add bags and steep for 30 minutes or more.
Pour the steeped tea in a gallon pitcher and add cold water. Squeeze teabags.
Sweeten to taste and refrigerate.

As you make it you will adjust it to you tastes. Another thought is to add a raspberry teabag to brew.
