I can't stand tea. The Tea Party. It figures. All the creeps in the world gathered together to drink tea. If they were the Coffee Party, now that would be cool. That would be the Progressives like the new Dems that were voted into office.
Tea is not a replacement for coffee. I don't like the taste of coffee and the caffeine does nothing for me. It is about taste. For me, tea is a replacement for soda. I quit all soda a few years back. I do drink Monster but still not for caffeine. Monster gives me the carbonation when I miss that.
Brew with hot water. (12 cups water/gallon size tea bag) Put 1 1/2 cups sugar in bottom of pitcher Add the hot tea to the sugar mix until dissolved Add water to fill to one gallon Mix again Serve over ice.
