Iced Tea Syrup

Someone else was looking for sweet tea recipe, here is another one of my 20 year old recipes:

This makes 1 gallon reconstituted

4 cups boiling water
1 cup loose tea
2 1/2 cups sugar

Let the tea steep in the boiling water for 15 min. Strain it, then add the sugar and boil again for 10 minutes

To use:

Put 1 tablespoon of syrup in a tall glass, then fill with water and ice.

the recipe states that it makes, what? a gallon and a half? you don't have to make it by the glass if you don't want to, I'm guessing.

I make a lemonade with a syrup also and the "life" of the Lemonade is about 3 days to taste "fresh" after that it will have a "flat" taste, but still drinkable

Since I have a shop I just make it, then "sell" it by the glass!

cut the recipe in 1/2???

try it and see? the cost should be minimal. Like I said, my lemonade tastes it's freshest the first 3 days, after that..it's still drinkable, not as "bright" tasting but we still drink it.

I make a fresh batch ( well made..) every 2 days, what was left over was taken to the back or home for family.
