I just take a 1/2 gallon glass container, full it up with hot water. Add 3 Lipton, or whatever tea bags you like. I also add one Constant Comment tea bag. Cover the container and set it out in the sun for several hours. You can add more or less tea bags dpending on your taste. I don't like sugar, but that is my taste. If you have access to fresh mint or a slice of lemon or lime that is a nice touch too.
