Meadow Tea (PA Dutch Style)

1. 1

   ["This recipe makes 3 1/2 quarts of iced tea - enough to fill an average sized ""sun tea"" jar.", "Boil water in a large pot.", "Rinse mint leaves thoroughly - keep whole.", "Add to pot of boiling water.", "Cover pot, remove from heat and let steep for 2 1/2 - 3 hours.", "Remove whole leaves.", "Pour tea thru a fine screen into your storage container.", "Here goes how I do this....I use a ladle to pour tea into a small pitcher or a large measuring cup.", "I then set up a handled screen over the top of my sun tea jar and pour tea thru.", "If you don't have a screen you could use a sifter or even a kitchen towel - please use something because you don't want bits and pieces of leaves floating around.", "Add sugar - stir until dissolved.", "Start with 1/2 cup, add more if you'd like it sweeter.", "Refrigerate and enjoy : )"]
