2 quarts (8 cups) water
3 Lipton tea bags (orange pekoe and pekoe cut black tea blend)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Boil the water in a large saucepan over high heat.
When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover.
After the tea has steeped about 1 hour, pour the sugar into a 2-quart pitcher, then add the tea. The tea should still be warm, so the sugar will dissolve easily.
Add the lemon juice. Chill.
Makes 2 quarts.
