12 Luzianne tea bags
4 cups water, boiled and still hot
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
12 cups water, cold
Put tea bags in large (1 gallon) heat-resistant container (pitcher, bowl, jar, pot).
Pour the hot water over, add the baking soda, and gently stir.
Cover loosely with a clean towel and steep for 10 to 15 minutes, no longer or the tea will get bitter.
Remove the tea bags.
Add the sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved, THEN add the cold water and stir again.
Put in refrigerator and let chill completely before serving over ice in tall glasses.
This recipe makes 1 gallon of sweet tea.
