Cheri's Blueberry Tea

This is the delicious blueberry tea that Cheri made for Evie's wedding. The quantities appearing at the end are for a large crowd. (Just in case you're ever serving tea to 200 and don't want to have to do the conversions for yourself! This parenthetical version makes 240 6-oz. servings.)

2 C. water
4 Celestial Seasonings blueberry teabags*
1/8 - 1/4 C. sugar
2 C. cold water

Boil 2 C. water and add teabags to steep for 5 min. Add sugar and stir. If making ahead, leave the tea out to breathe. Putting it in the refrigerator makes it cloudy. For final mixing, put cold water in first and then add the concentrate or the concentrate will stay on the bottom and not mix well. Add ice to serve.

For a crowd: 180 C. water = 240 6-oz. servings; 9 boxes = 180 teabags

* Celestial Seasonings made the beautiful color. We tried other blueberry teas and they were not nearly as pretty or tasty.
