Microwave Iced Tea

Random Rachel's Note:

My tea kettle broke, so I figured out how to make iced tea in the microwave, which isn't difficult to do, but I thought someone else might like to know how. I like to use 4 green tea bags, a lemonade crystal light, and add 1/8 cup of honey - it tastes almost like the Arizona green tea with ginseng.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 gallon ...

• 1 gallon water (divided)
• 6 tea bags
• 1 cup sugar, to taste (or peach, or raspberry) or 1 (¼ ounce) container sugar-free lemonade-flavored drink mix (or peach, or raspberry)

Directions:

1. Pour 2 cups of water into a 2 cup microwave safe glass measure. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. (It should just come to a boil.).
2. Add teabags, dunk a few times, and let steep 15+ minutes, to your tastes.
3. Pour into gallon sized pitcher, add remaining water, and ice if desired.
4. Chill and drink :-).
5. NOTE: If you use bottled water it will super heat and could come to a boil suddenly when you add the teabags, so use caution.
