glass of iced tea A strong tea that can be made for a crowd. Serve hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened. Recipe is for 1 gallon, and can easily be reduced. I'm going to experiment with all different flavors of tea for the summer!

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 4 minutes pressure. About 20 minutes to get up to pressure

Total Time: With chilling, 3 hours

Yield: 1 gallon

Source: Facebook

Ingredients:

10 regular tea bags
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 gal water
sweetener as desired

Steps:

Cut off strings and tags from tea bags.

Submerge the bags in a gallon of cold water.

Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda to eliminate bitterness.
Bring cooker up to pressure. Cook 4 minutes. Quick release.
Remove the bags. I compost mine. It is done if you want to serve hot.

If you want iced tea, you can add your sweetener now. I sweeten by the glass.
When the tea is cooled enough, ladle into pitchers.

Serve and enjoy.

one may also make genuine "sweet tea" by placing the sweetener in the pot with the tea.

The "sweet tea" I grew up with was always brewed with the (sugar) sweetener, the taste is remarkably different than adding the sweetener afterword.
