Tie tea bags together and remove "flags". 
Place water & tea bags in 2 quart sauce pan and bring to a rolling boil.
While tea is cooking, place sugar in pitcher.

THIS IS THE CRITICAL STEP FOR MAKING GOOD TEA
When tea has reached a full rolling boil, take off the heat and let sit for 5
minutes 
THEN add to sugar while tea is still hot.  Stir until sugar is disolved.

Add cold water to fill remainder of pitcher.
Serve over ice with a lemon slice.

This recipe is for those dear souls who weren't raised "Southern" or who
live north of Kentucky and are unfamiliar with the joy of a tall glass of cool crisp tea on a hot day.
