Best Iced Tea

Submitted by AB_Fan

"Once, on a 4-H exchange trip, I stayed with a wonderful family in northern Ohio who loved to drink this flavorful tea all summer long. Beth, make sure to thank your mother for me! Use a gallon sized jug to make this tea. The longer it stands before removing the tea bags, the stronger the tea. This recipe calls for saccharin tablets, but I'm sure Splenda works just as well."
