I must admit I like it a lot. ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The quick recipe is 3 big family sized regular Lipton tea bags and two Earl Grey tea bags. Add to about 3/4 of a gallon of boiling water in a gallon sized jar. I use an eletric kettle to boil the water, it owns. Then let steep for at least half an hour, more if you're man enough.
Then remove tea bags and add lots of ice. Add enough to fill the jar to the top. Once the ice has melted put in the fridge to get nice and chilly then consume in mass quantities.
I must admit this was inspired by Lipton's Pure Leaf bottled teas which are damn fine. But my home brew is superior.
Oh if you want sweetened or fruit flavored tea do this. First make simple syrup, which is one part sugar to one part water. You can go with a little more sugar than water if you like but don't go too crazy. Add the sugar and water together in sauce pan. Once the water has come to a boil and the sugar has dissolved you're all done unless you want fruit flavored tea. If you do, once the sugar is dissolved and the water is boiling kill the heat and add what ever flavors you want, lemon, rasberries, peaches, mint. Add whatever makes you happy. Let it steep for about 15 minutes. Then strain it into a squirt bottle and add it to the tea at your leisure.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
