2. Bring to a boil.
3. Take off heat and let sit for about 30 minutes.
4. Mean while, put 1 to 3 cups of sugar and tap water in the gallon container, and mix.
5. Pour warm boiled tea water into the container holding back the tea bags with a big plastic spoon. Fill the pot (with the bags still in it) with tap water and pour into container til almost full. Do not break the tea bags.(if so you can still drink it)

I have never made tea heating the water with the tea bag in it. This turned out nicely and I enjoyed drinking the tea. Thanks for posting! :)
