I make tea the lazy way. I put 10 tea bags in my pitcher. Add water. Wait. That is it. It is kind of like sun tea, but you don’t really need the sun. It takes a few hours, or overnight. Sounds simple and it is, but the tea is pretty good, and you can’t get any easier. I use splenda to sweeten. I usually keep a saucer over the top. [:D][:D]
