When water comes to a rapid boil, turn off heat, put the tea bags into water and cover.

The tea should still be warm so the sugar will dissolve easily.

I made this tonight using Stash Orange Pekoe Tea. I added a little less then half the sugar this recipe called for. I also added a little of the lemon zest in the water. I enjoyed the hint of sweetness in this tea. I'll take this along to the soccer game tomorrow. I adopted this chef for the *Spring PAC 2008* game
