Turn heat off, add 6 tea bags. Cover,Take tea bags out after 15 mins of steeping boiling. Add sugar to disolve. Then add 6 cup of cool water. add 1 pinch of Baking Soda to a pitcher, pour tea into pitcher and refrigerate until cold. I had mint on hand so I put a sprig of mint and a squeeze of lemon in mine last night

To the above, just add: 1 12 oz can of Coke 1 cup vodka 1 cup rum 1 cup bourbon 1 cup gin 1 cup Canadian whiskey The tiniest splash of Squirt Sure, it's gaggy on the first couple of swallows. But after that it goes down smooth. And so do you.
