List of Ingredients
5 tea bags, preferably Red Rose
1 quart water, bottled spring water if your tap water tastes off
2-6 tablespoons sugar, preferably natural cane sugar (to taste)
3 cups ice, plus additional cubes for glasses
Recipe
Place tea bags and water in a 2-quart Pyrex measuring cup. Cover with a small plate. Put in microwave and heat mixture on high power until very steamy and dark-colored and water starts to move but not boil, about 190 degrees, or 8 to 10 minutes, depending on the starting water temperature and power of microwave. Remove cup from microwave and let steep for 3 minutes, no longer. Remove and discard tea bags without squeezing them. Add desired amount of sugar and stir until dissolved. Add ice; stir until melted. Fill desired number of glasses with ice. Stir tea, pour over ice and serve immediately.
