Microwave Sweet Tea
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
Making tea on the stove is easy enough but even easier in the microwave, so why not? I have a strainer that is the perfect size to fit in the top of my gallon pitcher so that it makes it a snap to strain the tea bags over the sugar without worrying about busting the bags. Adding a slice of lemon to my glass of iced tea adds the perfect touch.
