summery sweet tea

For all you sweet tea lovers out there, have I got a recipe for you! This comes from my good friend and it's tangy, sweet and tastes like summer.

Summery Sweet Tea

6-7 tea bags (I use 4 regular and 3 Earl Grey)
6 cups water
3/4 - 1 cup sugar
1 lemon, sliced
1 lime, sliced
1 orange, sliced
Ice

Combine tea bags with water and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes. Remove tea bags and add sugar; mix well. Put fruit slices in a gallon pitcher 1/3 full with ice and pour tea syrup over. Let sit 30 minutes and fill pitcher with water. Serve over ice. Makes 1 gallon.
