Sweet Tea

Why in the world would you buy a tea maker if you can boil water?

Two large tea bags hanging in a pitcher, add boiling water (tea pot w/whistle works well). Pour water into pitcher (make sure it is plastic, glass pitcher will shatter unless it is Pyrex or such). Add 3/4 to a cup of sugar in pitcher and let bags seep. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add water to fill pitcher to top. Stir well. Refrigerate to keep from souring. We go through a pitcher a day in our house.
