Water for 4 quarts

Make - (15 min + cooling time)
- Place 4 T Loose Tea in a French Press. If using Tea Bags,
just add them to the 4 cups of water after taking it off the heat.
- Bring 4 cups Water to a boil, let it cool a for a minute, then
pour into the French Press until full. Steeping time is highly variable
depending on the strength desired. I use 5 minutes, then press down the
plunger and pour back into the pan. For tea bags, 1 minute to 7 minutes,
and don't squeeze out the bags (bitterness).
- Add Sugar to the pan. Stir now and then until completely
dissolved. You can heat the pan if needed, but not to a boil.
- Let the Tea cool, then add to cold water to make 4 quarts (or more or
less depending on the strength you want).
- You can serve over ice once it is cold, but it's much better to
refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. See
Serving. The Tea will keep for about 1 week refrigerated in
a sealed container.
