Fortunately tea isn't expensive, so you can afford to experiment.
I think you should start here.
4 bags of lipton
1 cup of sugar
Pinch of salt
In a small pot of water bring the teabags, sugar, and salt to a boil. Then turn the heat off and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then remove the teabags and pour it into a 1 gallon pitcher. Then add ice water to make the rest of the gallon.
Done!
Try this. If the sweetness isn't to your liking adjust it accordingly on your next batch. Same thing with the strength of the tea flavor. I like my tea a little stronger than most so I use 5 tea bags.
Also if you are using decaf tea, it will take more to equal the same flavor.
Edit: If you want something really killer, cut the sugar back a little and add some of the juice from a can of Peaches in Heavy Syrup!
