Sun Tea (Sweetened Ice Tea)

Ingredients:

6 to 8 tea bags

1 1/2 quarts cold water

Sugar to taste

Ice

Directions:

Place tea bags in a 2-quart clear glass container. Add water; cover. Let stand in full sun or at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours or until desired strength. Remove tea bags. Fill the rest of the container with ice and cold water.

You can use any flavor of tea you like, but our favorite sweet teas include a nice peach sun tea, or a combination of black cherry and blueberry tea.
