REFRESHING SWEET ICED TEA

Steps:

• Heat a full cup of water in the microwave until boiling hot. I use a large measuring cup.
• Submerge tea bags in water and let steep 3 minutes or until water gets dark.
• Pour dark water into pitcher. Refill cup with hot water from the faucet and let steep for 2 minutes.
• Add sugar to pitcher. Stir until dissolved.
• Add hot water from cup and than fill the rest of the pitcher with hot water from the sink. Stir and Refrigirate.
• Enjoy!
• I refill my cup and let steep 4 times, but it depends on how dark you like your tea. If you are in a rush, 1 steep will do.
