In this day of modern technology, one made their coffee and tea with electronic devices if they didn’t go to a famous store to buy them.The premade mixes and such worked like soda. It ran right through me. My mother taught me how to make stove top iced tea. It was less taxing on the kidneys and bladder. Below was my recipe for Home made stove top iced tea
