Swedish Tea

In a large saucepan add 1 tablespoon Lipton orange pekoe loose tea to 2 cups of water.

Bring mixture to a low boil,.

Add 1 cup of sugar and the juice of 1 lemon.

Slice lemon pieces and add to mixture.

Stir to help sugar dissolve, then turn the heat to low.

Cover saucepan with a lid and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not boil.

Strain tea mixture well and add enough water to make 1/2 gallon of tea.

Note:

I usually triple this recipe. I divide the concentrate and refrigerate or freeze two 1/3 portions for later use. I just add water as directed above.
