Dad's Iced Tea

Submitted by KittyKitty

"This is the best iced tea, I have ever had. It is not too sweet, not too strong. It's perfect. My dad makes it, and he probably learned from my grandmother, because, they both make the best. If your tea gets cloudy after being in the fridge, just add a little bit of boiling water."

I have always warmed the teapot for hot tea but never thought to do it for ice tea. The tea wasn't bitter and had a nice flavor My husband likes sweet tea so he was very happy. Will make again. Thanks AshleyAnne for the new brewing tip for ice tea. Bullwinkle.
