Sweet Tea Syrup

Source of Recipe

by Millie, from iVillage


Recipe Introduction

This is really good tea. It never ends up bitter. MAKES A LOT. If you have some left over and you know you won't be using it, just stick it in the freezer until ready to use. I have used this syrup when it was 10 days old in the fridge and it still tasted fresh. Boil 4 cups water; turn off heat.

Add 11 regular-size tea bags; let steep 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove tea bags AND DO NOT SQUEEZE THEM

Add 1 1/4 cups sugar

Store in refrigerator.

TO USE: Put ice in glass. Add ¼-cup tea syrup & 1 cup of cold water. Stir.
