Master's of Law degree; while there I lived with the Swindells
family. Mrs. Swindells made a superb iced tea with a pronounced
citrusy flavor. She insisted on using bottle spring water for a clear
tasting iced tea, the sweetest and most flavored oranges and English
Breakfast Tea."
In saucepan, combine sugar and spring water and bring to a boil;
continue to boil until liquid is clear, about 5 minutes. Chill
thoroughly. Place tea bags in heat-resistant pitcher, add boiling
