Ingredients

1 quart fresh, cool water
1 family-size tea bag of Luzianne tea (a tea made in New Orleans that is blended especially for iced tea)

Instructions

Bring the water to a boil. Immediately after it comes to a boil, remove from the heat and add the tea bag. Cover, and let steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bag, and stir in the sugar while tea is still warm. Add the two cups cold water and refrigerate. Serve over ice with a sprig of mint or a wedge of lemon.
