Like I said earlier, I bought a Pur water dispenser to raise the quality of water used for the tea batches.  I made another standard version 1 batch but it was really sweet.  Like crazy sweet.  2\/3rd cup of sugar, 2.5 quarts of water or whatever that line is on the pitcher which I have yet to understand.  I think there are 2 measuring lines, actual water, and ice.  But anyway, it seemed like a lost hope.  I imagined what I needed was sugar that was sweet but didn&#8217;t have as strong of a flavor if that&#8217;s even possible since sugar is only sweet.  So in retrospect, I&#8217;m like grasping at straws to figure out what&#8217;s going on.  I drank about 1\/3rd of it and decided to dilute it with more water.  So I added more water, and it was perfect!!!
