Sweet Iced Tea Recipe, Southern Style

Strong And Sweet Iced Tea
I very much love my iced tea and I make it the way my mother did, strong and sweet, Southern style. Following is my mother's recipe for Sweet Southern Iced Tea, strong and sweet iced tea. And you can be assured that I am sipping one as I write this.
This is not a recipe for the faint of heart. This is a full bodied and potent drink. This iced tea is not amber, rather it is a deep rich brown, loaded with caffeine and sugar, and a thoroughly satisfying drink.
The Southern United States is known for its sweet tea. It must have to do with the heat.
This is the only drink that righteously goes with a Reuben Sandwich.
OK then.
