As Simple As 1 2 3 !
Now iced
tea is not strictly a Southern thing,
but
we like to think our sweet tea is the best around...

3 family
size tea bags ( I use Luzianne Tea Bags )
2 cups
of cold water
1 cup
of sugar
pinch
of baking soda
Place tea bags in cold water and bring to a boil... As soon as it starts to boil remove from the heat (at this point I add a pinch of soda to the tea... This makes it darker and removes any bitterness) ... place tight fitting lid on pot and steep tea for about 10 to 15 minutes... In a gallon container, place the sugar and enough hot water to dissolve the sugar , making a sugar syrup... After tea has steeped, pour into the sugar water and stir well... Add water to make 1 gallon....
