So recently, I've been missing my mom's homemade iced tea. Since I'm trying to cut out added sugar, I decided to make a batch with a sugar substitute, like Splenda. AND, I put a light summer twist by using Snapple's white tea bags with strawberry flavor. The tea brews up to a light amber color and is super sweet, making it perfect and refreshing for summer. Get a box and make mom's tea today!
Boil 4 qts water in an 8 qt pot
When the water just reaches a boil, throw in 12 tea bags (would advise removing the tags and tying them in bunches by their strings). I think with white tea, like green, you're supposed to brew it just at the boil or below so you don't "burn" it. I did leave the burner on for a few mores minutes but removed it shortly thereafter.
Allow to steep, but before it cools completely, add 2 cups of sugar (or Splenda)
Steep for 3 hours
Add 4 more quarts of water and pour into pitchers/containers
It certainly takes time, but it's worth it for homemade iced tea. Enjoy!
