Yield:  8 cups

Ingredients:
6 to 7 black tea bags
4 cups boiling water
1 cup sugar

1. Place the tea bags in a large heatproof bowl or pot and pour in the freshly boiled water.  Let steep for 5 minutes.  Fill a large pitcher with 4 cups room-temperature water.  Strain the hot tea into the pitcher and stir to combine.  

2. In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1/2 cup cold water with the sugar.  Simmer until the sugar completely dissolves, about 5 minutes.  Pour the sugar syrup into the tea to taste.  Refrigerate the tea until nice and cold.  Serve over plenty of ice.
