Tasty Ice Tea

So I started my foray into cooking by making ice tea.  I know like it doesn’t seem like a big deal to you all, but ice tea is tasty and now I am an expert.

So, here’s a tasty ice tea recipe.  I changed it slightly from the one I found because that one doesn’t make enough tea and you have to repeat the process twice.  This way is more convenient.

10.  Upon serving, add sugar to glass to suit individual taste preference (I like adding about two tea spoons of sugar, not measuring teaspoons, mind you, but the spoons made for tea.)
