• Using a medium saucepan, boil half of the water
• Remove from heat and add the tea bags
• Submerge the bags and let them brew for about 5 minutes
• While removing the tea bags, use 2 spoons to squeeze the liquid out of the bags and into the pot of tea (Place bags on a spoon and use the back of another spoon to apply pressure to the bags)
• Add the sugar and stir until dissolved
• You have your sweet tea base
• Add the base to a pitcher
• Add the remaining water and refrigerate until cold

Popsicles

• Pour the tea into a popsicle mold or plastic cups
• Optional - insert slices of lemon
• If you don't have tops for your mold or want to use wooden sticks - Use cling wrap to hold the sticks in place
• Freeze until ready - this will probably take around 4 hours or overnight
• Run the sides of the mold under hot tap water to loosen the popsicles
• Pull the Popsicles out and enjoy!
