Ingredients.
3 family-size tea bags
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 to 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add a pinch of baking soda to the water and add tea bags. Remove from heat, add sugar and cover. Allow to sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into a gallon pitcher, then fill with cold water. Refrigerate.
The baking soda takes out the bitterness and darkens the tea. It does not change the taste
