1 1/2 c. water
5 tea bags
2/3 c. sugar (or a little more)
1 glass with ice cubes

Take 1 1/2 cups water and 5 tea bags, then put in microwaveable measuring cup or bowl; bring just to a boil but don't let it start boiling! Press tea bags gently against sides until tea is darker looking.

Pour tea into a 2 quart pitcher, straining back tea bags as you pour. Fill with water and add 3/4 cup sugar. Stir. A glass of fresh brewed iced tea in less than 5 minutes.

My microwave brings it just to a boil in 4 minutes. Some microwaves take less time.

A squeeze of lemon is good.
