To prepare, bring one gallon of water to a boil. Remove the water from the heat and add the tea bags. Steep for the recommended time, typically around 3-5 minutes, depending on desired strength. Remove the tea bags and stir to ensure the sweetener is fully dissolved. Allow the tea to cool, then pour over ice. You can adjust the steeping time to achieve your preferred flavor intensity. This method is straightforward and designed for efficiency.
