    Great idea! Passing this info on to my daughter! They would probably drink more than gallon a day if was ready with the TEA STARTER!

    If you have a coffee maker you can put two tea bags in the top instead of coffee, at 12 cups of water and your water container turn it on ,go away. When it's done pour
    the tea into a picture with sugar Stir It Up Add Water wula. This way you don't have to wait on the water to boil. But I do like the T starter idea.

    That's nearly exactly how I was "learned" to make sweet tea. We just added the sugar right into the pan of water and tea bags. That way the sugar would dissolve as the water heated to a boil. Pour the boiled tea/sugar water into the pitcher... then top the pitcher off with tap water. Tada!!! :-)

    I 'always' add lemon as in ice tea, I have been doing it that way for over 50 years, I honestly know that my way or the highway is the only way for me...I boil the tea so long making it very strong that I actually get 'high' on it, again it works for me.

      Honey increases blood sugar levels and should be used in moderation. Stevia, a natural sugar alternative, is one of the best options. :)
