List of Ingredients
2 qt. (8 c.) water
4 tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend)
3/4 c. granulated sugar
1/3 c. plus 2 T. lemon juice
Recipe
Boil water in a large saucepan over high heat. When water comes to a rapid boil, turn off heat, put the tea bags into water and cover. After the tea has steeped about 1 hour, pour the sugar into a 2-quart pitcher, then add tea. The tea should still be warm so the sugar will dissolve easily. Add lemon juice. Chill. Makes 2 quarts
BL's note: I love the Snapple Peach, so I had a packet of peach flavoured crystals and don't add the sugar until I have tasted it. Usually the flavouring is enough. These are powdered drink crystals like Tang, but generic.
