Sweet Tea

McDonald's Copycat Recipe

Makes 1 Gallon

Ingredients:

4 cups boiling water
3 extra large (Family Size) or 9 regular tea bags (Orange Pekoe Lipton brand offers great flavor and easiest to find.)
1- 1/2 cup sugar (use an artificial sweetener for ‘light’ or ‘diet’ version)
large 1 gallon pitcher

Directions:

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, pour into 1 gallon pitcher. Add sugar and stir to dissolve. Add three tea bags to the pitcher.  Let them infuse the water for at least fifteen minutes. (The longer, the stronger!) Although, do not allow your water to completely cool. Gently squeeze excess water from the tea bags and remove.

Finish by filling with cool water to 1 gallon line. Stir well. Refrigerate to chill or serve immediately over a large glass of ice.
