Sweet Tea or Iced Tea By the Gallon To Go
Gallon jug of spring water
4 quart size tea bags, or 12 regular
(optional 1 1/4 cups sugar for sweet tea)
Open the jug and pour 2-3 cups of the water into a measuring cup for the microwave ( or pot on the stove.) Heat to just below boiling, and steep tea bags five minutes. Pour the concentrated brew back into the jug.
For sweet tea, add the sugar to the hot water and tea bags, stir to dissolve.
For Southern-sweet tea, use up to 2 cups of sugar per gallon.
