Directions:
Put tea bags in 2 qt pot full of hot water. Place on high heat, and bring to a slow-rolling boil (about 7-8 minutes). Decrease heat to medium to keep tea at a fast simmer to very slow boil. Keep at this temperature for another 7 1/2 minutes. Allow to cool in pot. Put sugar and Sweet & Low in 1 gallon pitcher, then pour in warm tea. Stir in 2 large cups of ice, then top pitcher off with cold water. Refrigerate. Keeps for several days.

Can use 1 & 1/2 c total of Sugar, instead of using Sweet & Low with sugar
I use 1 Caf & 1 Decaf Family Tea Bag
