- Following is my Dad's recipe for iced tea, made with artificial sweetener
- and in quantity, for Southerners who drink it three times a day.
-
- JIMMY'S ICED TEA
- (Serves approx 8)
-
- Ingredients:
-
- 3 ea Family Size Tetly tea bags
- (Substitute three regular bags for each "Family Size")
- 5 cups almost boiling water
- 9 1/2 grains saccharin tablets
- ( or Substitute other artificial sweetener. I currently use
- 9 packets of Equal/Nutrisweet)
- 1/3 cup sugar
-
- Directions:
-
- Add tea bags to near-boiling water; steep 10 minutes or longer.
- Pour tea off, rinse bags with additional cold water so as not to waste any
- tea. Add saccharin and sugar.
-
- Pour individual, ice-filled glasses 1/4 to 1/3 full of tea and adjust
- strength by judging color while adding water and tea as desired. Further
- adjustments may be made by adding sugar and/or lemon juice as appropriate.
-
- Note:
- Tea seems to be better if water is heated in stainless pan, rather
- than heavy aluminum.
-
- A sprig of peppermint leaf really tops it off quite well!
