If you don't want all the sugar but want sweet tea, buy a gallon of sweet tea and reserve a couple glasses then use the jug to make sugar free sweet tea. Steep 6 teabags in a couple of quarts water as the recipe above, (I add a sprig of fresh mint), open and put 20 Splenda packets into the gallon jug, and fill about quarter way with cool water. Add the hot tea/mint mix and top up to a gallon with more water. Comparison taste with the reserved tea and adjust the Splenda to your level of sweet. Do not add the hot tea to the plastic jug without the cool water as a buffer or you may deform the plastic. Enjoy
