1. Begin by filling your kettle up with a part of your gallon of water and bring it to a boil. 2. Once the kettle is whistling take it off the heat and immerse the 4 bags of tea in the water. Make sure they are fully wet and let them steep for 45 minutes. 3. While this is happening, take the rest of your water and mix in your 11/2 cups of sugar into your tea jug. (Note that all the sugar may not dissipate since it is cold.) 4. Once the time is up, pour the hot tea into your cool sugar water and mix for 20-30 seconds. 5. Chill it in the fridge overnight for the best taste or at least 4 hours before consuming.
