Instructions

1. 11. Fill large stainless steel pot with cold filtered water. Bring to rolling boil.
2. 22. Remove from heat immediately. Drop tea bags into hot water. Allow steeping exactly 3-4 minutes - no longer to prevent bitterness.
3. 33. Remove tea bags, gently pressing to extract maximum flavor without squeezing.
4. 44. While tea is still piping hot, gradually whisk in pure cane sugar until completely dissolved. Stir continuously to prevent sugar crystallization.
5. 55. Transfer tea to glass pitcher. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, approximately 45-60 minutes.
6. 66. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, minimum 2 hours.
7. 77. Serve over abundant ice cubes. Garnish with optional lemon wedge.
