Green Iced Tea

Bill's favorite drink lately has been Arizona Green Iced Tea, so I came up with a way to make it at home. I usually make him 2-3 gallons a week!

Note: It's not really a precise art. I just kind of mix it up and adjust it as needed. My apologies for the lack of exact measurements...

Green Iced Tea

Ingredients

• 16 Lipton Green Tea bags (I sometimes use Organic)
  
  
• 4-4.5 quarts water in a large pot (some will evaporate)
• 1-1.5 cups sugar, to taste
  
• 10-12 "counts" of honey, to taste
• 5-10 "counts" of lemon juice, to taste
  

Directions

1. Boil water; remove from heat and add tea bags.
2. Allow to steep for 30-60 minutes (the longer, the stronger)
   
3. Remove tea bags.
4. In a 4-quart pitcher, add sugar, lemon juice, and honey (for honey and lemon juice, I just pour while I count to 10).
   
5. Carefully pour hot tea into pitcher; mix with ladle or wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved.
6. Refrigerate until chilled.
   Serve with ice.
