This tea seemed to lack the flavor some of the other recipes on zaar have. Perhaps it needs another tea bag. I will try it again and see. Thanks for sharing!

    This is a nice way to make tea when all of your burners are in use. Which is why I tried this micro-waved tea recipe. My husband loves sweet tea so he really liked this tea. Thanks kcdelong. Bullwinkle.

    I have made this recipe since the large tea bags have become available. I can get a large box from a food warehouse which helps on cost. It is also great made with Splenda to help keep the calories down.
