Following is my Dad's recipe for iced tea, made with artificial sweetener and in quantity, for Southerners who drink it three times a day.
Add tea bags to near-boiling water; steep 10 minutes or longer. Pour tea off, rinse bags with additional cold water so as not to waste any tea. Add saccharin and sugar.
Pour individual, ice-filled glasses 1/4 to 1/3 full of tea and adjust strength by judging color while adding water and tea as desired. Further adjustments may be made by adding sugar and/or lemon juice as appropriate.
Note: Tea seems to be better if water is heated in stainless pan, rather than heavy aluminum.
A sprig of peppermint leaf really tops it off quite well!
