Supper turns recipes like this into a planned week and a sorted grocery list — then walks you through cooking, hands-free. Coming soon to iOS.
Ingredients
Serves 16- For serving: ice; lemon wedges; fresh mint
- 1 gallon water, (divided)
- 1 cup granulated sugar ((or more or less, to taste))
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 12 regular-size black tea bags ((or 3 family-size tea bags))
Open in Supper to scale servings and turn this into a grocery list.
Steps
- Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water barely to a boil. You can do this on the stovetop, or you can heat the water in the microwave for about 6-7 minutes. Add the tea bags and baking soda to the hot (but not boiling) water and steep for 4-5 minutes.
- Step 2
Whisk sugar into the hot tea until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Step 3
Pour tea into a gallon-size pitcher. Add 3 more quarts (12 cups) of water to the pitcher; stir.
- Step 4
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Pour over ice and serve with lemon wedges and fresh mint, if desired.
Interactive, hands-free timers are available in the Supper app.
