Mom’s Ice Tea – Beverages and Drinks Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

(Makes around one gallon)

10 tea bags

1 cup sugar

water

ice

1. Boil about 4-5 cups of the water. Steep the tea bags for 2-5 min.

2. Remove the tea bags and dissolve the sugar in the hot tea.

3. Transfer the sweetened tea to a gallon container (we always used a

well-rinsed out milk jug) and fill with cold water and/or ice.

Serve over more ice.

Notes: Yeah, its alot, but it goes fast. You can also use fewer tea

bags (around 4-5) and steep them longer (a half hour) for "Aunt Nancy’s

Ice Tea"(tm) :). Sugar is to taste and can be freely adjusted. I use

decaffinated tea bags here at school and it tastes the same to me.

Never tried artifical sweeteners – but I don’t see why they wouldn’t

work. Just add them last, after the tea has cooled.

Now I’m thirsty . .
