Mom-mom's sweet iced tea
beginning with my mom-mom, this is the way my family has always made iced tea. it is always hard to keep in the fridge it goes so fast. i no longer enjoy a beverage this sweet, but that does not stop my kids from loving it. If you don't have much of a sweet tooth like me cut back on some of the sugar. It's also often claimed as a hangover cure - you'll have to be the judge of that yourself... :o)
