OOP -Iced Sweet Tea was Re: SC - Grits

[Bonne of Traquair]

well, maybe not boiled with (boiling the tea leaves will bring out a 
bitterness no amount of sugar will correct) but both tea and sugar must 
be added as soon as the boiling water comes off the burner so as much 
sugar goes into solution as possible.  And then, the tea must steep so 
long that the end product is nearly as black as coffee.  None of this 
clear amber stuff.  When made very strong and very sweet those that like 
it less strong and sweet can add some water to their glass, or wait 
until the ice melts a bit.
