The best way to get great iced tea - something the South is known for. Not heating the water prevents bitterness.
Ingredients:
2 quarts water
2 family sized tea bags (preferably a cold brew variety)
1 cup sugar or 1 cup splenda sugar substitute
ice
Directions:
1. Fill a 2 qt pitcher (that's pitcha in the South) about halfway up with ice.
2. Clip the clothespin onto the side of the pitcher and hang the tea bags through it (keeps the paper from getting in the tea and makes the bags easier to retrieve- you don't want to be seen with your hand in the pitcher here in the South).
3. Pour the sugar or Splenda on top of the ice cubes and now fill the pitcher up with water.
4. Let sit about an hour, pull out tea bags and serve.
