Mrs. Polizzo’s Sweet Iced Tea
Fill a saucepan ¾ full of water, 8 tea bags (Mrs. P uses Lipton decaf – very good, I use Lipton regular, can also use any of the herb teas – delicious), bring to a boil. Turn heat off and let steep. When you finally remember that you are making iced tea or in about 20 min.– remove bags and add ¾ cup sugar (If you forget for a while and the tea is cold I heat it up a little to dissolve the sugar, also you can use less sugar if you want it less sweet). Pour into a pitcher add ice, water to top of pitcher and lemon slices and mint. (Sometimes I just put the concentrated tea in a container in the refrigerator and it is ready to use when I need it.
