3 tea bags (good quality Black Tea, Orange Pekoe or try a Green Tea or any other tea you like)
4 cups of water
1/2 to 1 cup sugar (original recipe calls for one scant cup. I prefer a bit less and use 1/2 to 2/3 cup, a tad less for green tea iced tea)
(optional) 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced (not in the original recipe, but I love lemon in iced tea)
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it reaches the boil, remove from heat, add the tea bags, cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
Remove and discard the tea bags. Pour tea into a heat-proof glass pitcher. While tea is still hot, add sugar to taste (or omit if you prefer unsweetened tea). Stir to dissolve sugar. Place pitcher in the refrigerator.
If adding lemon, slice one half of a lemon into thin slices. Add lemon slices to the pitcher. Refrigerate at least until cool. Serve over ice and enjoy!
This recipe makes a small batch, so if you like iced tea, I'd suggest doubling the recipe.
