Steps:

For any of the flavors, boil the water in a large saucepan.
When the water comes to a rapid boil, turn off the heat, put the tea bags into the water, and cover.
After the tea has brewed about 1 hour, pour the sugar or sweetener into a 2 quart pitcher, then add the tea.
The tea should still warm, so the sugar or sweetener will dissolve easily.
Add the flavoring ingredients (plus additional water if needed to bring the tea to the 2 quart line).
Chill.
