Do you like Iced Tea?

[imported_BucksMom]

I found a way to make a nice homemade Iced Tea. I have two adult boys and a hubby that can consume a 24 pack of pepsi in 2 days so enough is enough. Try this recipe. It costs a few cents per glass to make and tastes nice. You can double or triple depending on you container size. And its really nice with a shot of Vodka too. LOL

Boil 4 cups water in a non aluminum pot.
Remove from heat and add 3 tea bags and a pinch of baking soda (takes the bite outta the tea)
Cover and steep for at least 20 minutes, up to an hour if you like it stronger.
Add 2/3 cup sugar, stir to dissolve.
Add 1/4 cup lemon juice or 2 teaspoons lemonade Kool-aid powder what ever you have for lemon flavour. (OR frozen concentrate any flavour 2 tablespoons Peach is good too)
Pour into a large pitcher.
Add another 4 cups cold water and stir.
Chill in fridge for a few hours. Makes about 1/2 gallon.
You can adjust to taste for your preference.

I pour some into single serve bottles too because they always seem to grab and go.

This sounds great!! I make a lot of sun tea so I think I will try this recipe with that method.

That sounds good! Raspberry would be good, too, I bet.
