Iced Tea - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. boiling hot water
2 family size or 8 small tea bags
1 1/2 c. sugar
8 c. cold water
12 tea bags
1 qt. tepid water

Preparation

Empty contents of tea bags into a 1-quart preserving jar.
Add water and stir briskly.
Screw jar lid down tight so jar will not leak when turned upside-down.
Set jar in sunny window and leave until liquid is as dark as strong coffee.
How long this will take varies on the intensity of the sun, but allow anywhere from 4 to 8 hours.
Also, turn jar several times as tea brews or whenever you are passing by.
Strain tea through a small fine sieve into a clean 1-quart jar.
Screw lid down tight and store in refrigerator.
