Steps:
- Fill a 2 qt pitcher (that's pitcha in the South) about halfway up with ice.
- Clip the clothespin onto the side of the pitcher and"hang" the tea bags through it (keeps the paper from getting in the tea and makes the bags easier to retrieve- you don't want to be seen with your hand in the pitcher here in the South).
- Pour the sugar or Splenda on top of the ice cubes and now fill the pitcher up with water.
- Let sit about an hour, pull out tea bags and serve.

GREAT-TASTING SOUTHERN ICED TEA (WITH SPLENDA)
I grew up on Iced Tea using this recipe. But we made it with sugar then. Being a Southern girl (okay, I guess I am too old to be called a girl.), I love Iced Tea -year round. True Southern Tea is served with a glass full of ice (Don't serve it with just a couple ice cubes -like some restaurants do. "FILL" the glass with ice then pour the tea over the ice. As the ice settles down, you can add more ice to fill the glass. Southern tea is also really sweet. You can adjust the sugar (Splenda) to suit your taste. Just follow my other directions to a "T" & you'll always have great tea.
