Southern Sweet Iced Tea

Edit
Drinking a tall glass of Southern Sweet Iced Tea is truly divine!
If you’ve never had the opportunity to enjoy a glass of sweet iced tea, or have only had it bottled, now’s the time to try making your own sweet iced tea, and enjoy it like a southerner.
Regardless of if you were raised in the south, were transplanted here, or just passing through, you’ll find that sweet tea is deeply part of the southern culture. Just as we’re known for growing peaches, pecans, and peanuts, we’re also known for making a mean brew of sweet iced tea. You’ll find it plastered on every menu at every restaurant, so there’s no excuse for not giving it a try.
INGREDIENTS
1 pint of just boiled water
6 Lipton Black Tea bags
1/2 - 3/4 cup sugar, or to taste
1 lemon, sliced (optional)
1 orange, sliced (optional)
several sprigs of fresh mint (optional)
Pinch of baking soda
Ice
Cold water
INSTRUCTIONS
In a heat resistant large measuring cup (I use a 4 cup measuring cup), add the Lipton Black Tea bags and sugar, then pour over with freshly boiled water. Add a pinch of baking soda. Allow to brew for about 5 - 8 minutes. This will make your 1 pint of concentrate.
In a large 2 quart pitcher, first add the ice until about 1/2 to 3/4 full. If using a glass pitcher, don't forget the metal spoon to keep your glass from cracking.
Slowly pour the tea concentrate over the ice.
