Ingredients:

-1000 mL (4 cups) water

-4 cups ice

-60 mL (1/4 cup) sugar

-1 Family-size iced tea bag

-Lemon slices (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat 2 cups of water on the stovetop or in an electric kettle with a temperature setting. Set the water temperature to 180°F if using the electric kettle. On the stovetop, boil water then wait 2-3 minutes for the water to cool to bring down the water temperature. Filtered water will make a better tasting iced tea.

2. Combine hot water and tea bag into a pitcher. 1 Luzianne family size iced tea bag makes 4 cups of iced tea. Steep tea bag for 5 minutes then discard tea bag. Add sugar and stir until dissolved. 

3. Add 2 cups of cold water into the pitcher. Chill tea in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Leave in refrigerator for 1-2 hours to completely chill. Pour tea into cups with ice. Optionally, add lemon slices in each cup.
