Directions
Perfect Iced Tea, My iced tea never turned out the same any time I made it because I never measured. I finally started measuring and wrote down what used. My family agreed that the following made the perfect pitcher!, Thanks for a basic recipe I can play around with to invent our “perfect iced tea.” This time used a combination of half pomegranate and half lemon tea bags. It had a nice fruity flavor to it. I may reduce the sugar next time. I wouldn’t have said it was “too sweet, ” but maybe sweeter than necessary.NOTE: I have been using 1/2 cup of sugar to prepare “sweeter” teas and 3/4 cup sugar to prepare “less sweet” teas and this has worked well for us. I also sometimes omit the lemon juice if I don’t think it will work well with the flavor of the tea I am using.
