Don't brew it too strong, a dash of lemon juice, sweeten to taste & chill. The flavour comes out more chilled so too much brewing time causes bitterness.

"Sun Tea" is the best way to brew tea. You put water and tea bags in a tall glass jar with a lid and leave it sitting on a window sill or where ever the most sunlight will strike it. The more the tea colors the water the more trapped heat from sunlight. It never gets very hot, so the tea's flavor doesn't degrade from excessive heat and only the best of the flavor comes out leaving the least flavorable elements behind in the bags.
Don't know how well this works in cold weather but a double glazed window or storm window should let in enough light without the jar getting too cold.

OK, Southern recipe here. YMMV.
Use only Lusianne brand tea. 4 family-size tea bags per gallon.
Seep in hot water on stove. Do NOT boil.
Place tea mixture in pitcher and add 3/4 to 1 cup of sugar to taste. Do NOT add sugar after adding cold water. So, you obviously have to figure out how much sugar you like in previous batches.
Add juice of 1 lemon.
Top off with cold water to make 1 gallon.

Ah Ha! now I know why Jim, that stuff is good. As for a home recipe for that, no idea. Looks like you go broke.
No normal iced tea this stuff, fella's, its a cordial type thing. I mix it about 1 part to 10 water.

Use the recipe that I put in. Back off on the sugar and add juice from a mango. Probably want to back off on, or even eliminate the lemon. Might put a couple of slides of mango in the pitcher. I've never made mango tea, but that's how we always made peach tea and it's really good...for a change.

Marry Her Off
Let some other boy mix her ice tea on his dime. Kids don't have to be part of your budget all your remaining life.

For a gallon of.............
tea, use about 15 bags of Twinings Black or Orange Pekoe and 1 or 2 bags of Boston's Mint-n-Tea. Boil up 2-3 quarts of water; when a rolling, bubbling boil is reached, put in the bags and turn off the heat. agitate the bags for 3-5 minutes, or until the water gets no darker. Important: Do NOT stop agitating and walk away letting them sit. It will make the tea bitter! Remove the bags and squeeze the remaining water in them into the sink before throwing them away. Sweeten to taste, then pour in the water that you had iced down and put in the refrigerator, before you began. Try it, then modify to taste. You can even experiment w/meleleuca(sp?) tea as well.
