We love this recipe because it's got strong tea flavor without being bitter, and it's sweet but not cloying.

Ingredients:
12 regular-size tea bags
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 qt. distilled or bottled water
1 qt. ice cubes
1-1/4 cups Simple Syrup

Preparation:
1. Place tea bags and baking soda in a large heatproof glass pitcher.

2. Bring water just to a rolling boil in a saucepan or kettle, and immediately pour over tea bags, making sure bags are submerged. Cover and steep 7 minutes. Remove tea bags without squeezing; discard tea bags.

3. Add ice, and stir until ice melts. Stir in Simple Syrup, and serve over ice.


Note:
We tested with Luzianne Tea.
