What you will need:4 tablespoons of your favorite tea
3 cups of boiling water
1/2 cup sugar
Cheesecloth
String
Measure out 3 cups of water, I used a mason jar since it fit perfectly, and microwave for 3-4 minutes until bubbling.
While the water is coming to a boil, you want to prepare your tea bag. Cut a square of cheesecloth and place your tea in the center. Then, bring up the corners of the cheesecloth and gather together. Secure your tea pouch with a long piece of string. {your want it long enough to hang out of your mason jar}
Measure out a 1/2 cup of sugar.
Once the water has come to a boil, add the sugar and stir. Then place your tea pouch into the jar, leaving the string hanging out, and seal the jar. Let the tea steep for 2-3 hours.
When the time is up, the tea will look nice and dark. This tea will be very concentrated, perfect for a tall glass of ice on a hot summer day.
I removed the tea pouch and transferred my iced tea to a glass bottle. {totally not necessary but I think it pours better}
Enjoy! 
What is your go-to summer drink?
