2 lg. family tea bags
1 c. sugar
Water

Begin with bringing 1 quart of water to a full boil. Pour over tea bags in a glass pitcher. Let it steep at least 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add fresh cold tap water to fill the 1/2 gallon pitcher. Serve over glass full of ice.

Tea is made strong, but when poured over the ice, it is diluted to a refreshing glass of tea.
