Amy Middleton’s Tea

Make the tea first in a tea kettle and steep. Add tea to a gallon container. (If your container is plastic allow tea to cool and add ice and cool water. You can add extra water and keep tea bags in container.

Simply add more tea bags if you want it stronger. This is a refreshing iced tea. Normally I don’t like to drink tea, but I love Amy’s tea!
