my way - get a mr. coffee maker - for goodness sake DON'T make coffee in it. 5 tea bags - i generally use lipton, i also occasionally add 1 flavored bag (mint, blueberry, raspberry, etc.) run 1 pot thru & dump in a 1 gallon container (i prefer glass) with 2/3 cup of sugar. stir well. run another pot of water thru the same tea bags & add it to the jug. top up with cold water. you don't have 5 minutes of work in the whole thing.
