How do I make my tea taste better?
In my house we drink alot of Kool Aid and I want to drink tea. We a big box of "Great Value" with little tea packets inside them. I was just wonder if there was anything or anyway to make really great tea with those packets. Also, can you tell me what ingredients I will need.
And how to make Iced Tea?
Please don’t say "add sugar" because I already know that.

We do two different things depending on the weather.
One with those bags, take about 8 in a big pot with water and bring to boil, boil for about a good five min. depending on the strength you want. Longer for stronger, careful not to bust the bags open or boil them to death. In about a two gallon picture pour the tea and add two cups of sugar. Depending on how sweet you want it.
On sunny days, we will put our tea bags in a picture with a lid and let it sit out in the sun for about 6/8 hours, then add the sugar and fill glass full of ice have a nice glass of iced sun tea.
umm add suger and honey
Vodka
By adding sugar.
Boil water then let the water cool down about 4 to 5 min. Place 1 bag in a cup, pour water over it and let it steap for 2 min. Dunk the bag in and out a couple of times. Not sure what different tea flavors you have, but you can use regular sugar, brown sugar, sugar crystals or honey to sweeten the tea. In Europe they add a spritzer of lemon juice or they add half and half (not with lemon).
Iced Tea
Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water with a pinch of baking soda in a small pan to a rapid rolling boil. Baking soda reduces any bitterness from steeping too long etc…
Turn off the heat and add 3 tea bags of your favorite tea.
Keep the tea bags in the water for 5 minutes only. Anymore than that and your tea is going to be too bitter.
Pour the concentrated tea into a container of your choice that can hold 2 quarts (2 L) of liquid after it cools down. Add sugar to your taste and fill with water.
Put the tea in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
TipsYou might want to add a few mint leaves semi-crushed to your tea as it cools, to give it a light and minty flavor.
You can also add a squeeze of lemon to make it lemon iced tea.
As an alternative to lemon, try adding a few lemon myrtle leaves
You can also make tea with ginger for extra taste.
For colder, faster ice tea, you can put the tea in the freezer for an hour or two.
Black pekoe? Sweet tea in the south is always a favorite. Find a gallon container, boil large boiler on the stove 3/4 full of water, 4 bags or 2 family size, bring to a boil, remove tea bags, add2 cups of sugar to dissolve while boiling, pour into gallon container, and add water to the gallon! Chill it!!!!
