Ingredients

Water (Use enough to fill the pot about three-quarters full, then add more to fill the tea jug to the desired level.)
2 Lipton tea bags (Use two large tea bags.)
2 cup Sugar (At least 2 cups per gallon of tea; dissolve in the brewed tea.)
Ice (Use to flash-cool the tea; amount not specified.)

Steps

1
Fill a heavy-bottomed pot about three-quarters full with water.
2
Add the two large tea bags to the pot. Heat on the stove until the water begins to turn a darker color; do not let it boil.
3
While the tea heats, put at least 2 cups of sugar per gallon into a tea jug.
4
When the tea has darkened, use a slotted spoon to press or squeeze the bags to help release the tea, then remove the bags from the pot.
5
Pour the hot tea over the sugar in the jug. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
6
Add ice to flash-cool the tea. The creator cautions against doing this in a glass pitcher.
7
Add water to fill the rest of the jug, then stir once more.
8
Serve and taste.

Notes

The source does not specify an exact water volume, amount of ice, steeping duration, or final yield; the 16-serving estimate assumes roughly one gallon. The creator cautions that flash-cooling with ice is not recommended in a glass pitcher.
