Iced Tea-Pitcher

Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat and add 3 tea bags (without cardboard identification tag). Cover and steep for 12 minutes.
Gently remove the tea bags. Add sugar to tea and stir until dissolved. Pour the tea into a 1quart heatproof container.
Serve a few minutes after making or a few days after it’s been sitting in the refrigerator.
Add a wedge of lemon or and or a bit of mint if you desire.
I’ve found that the prepared iced tea I’ve bought at supermarkets the taste the same whether it’s in my refrigerator for a day or a week. I’ve never seen my iced tea get to be a week old.
