Ingredients

• 1 l water (Wasser)
• 7 tea bags (black tea; 1 family-size Lipton bag or 6-8 regular bags; Schwarztee)
• 600 g sugar (Zucker)

Steps

1. Bring water (1 l) to a rolling boil in a pot. Take it off the heat.
2. Drop in tea bags (7) and steep for ⏲ 10–20 minutes. Longer is stronger, and this gets diluted, so err long.
3. Lift out the bags and squeeze them out into the pot. Discard the bags.
4. Stir in sugar (600 g) while the tea is still hot, until fully dissolved.
5. Pour the concentrate into a 3.8 l jug and fill to the top with cold tap water. Chill in the fridge and serve over ice.
