bakerman is on a distinguished road
The way I make sweet tea, is to bring a quart of water to a boil, remove from heat, and add 4 family sized tea bag (luzianne is good), let steep for about 20 minutes, pour in to a gallon pitcher, add 1 1/2 cups sugar, stir add enough water to make a gallon, chill. Add a little bit of peach schnapps to your glass, and you are in heaven (I use less sugar if going to put schnapps in it)

In the south, most use at LEAST 2 cups of sugar per gallon, a little much for me.

I really do love sweet tea, but have given it up.!
