When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover. After the tea has brewed about 1 hour, pour the sugar or sweetener into a 2 quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should still be warm, so the sugar or sweetner will dissolve easily. Add the flavoring ingredients (plus additional water if needed to bring the tea tot he 2 quart line). Chill |
