Black Tea Syrup



6 bags black tea
2 cups water
2 cups sugar

Brew 4 bags of black tea (or 4 servings if you choose to use loose tea and an infuser) to 2 cups of water.  Once the tea has been steeped combine the black tea with two cups of sugar in a pot, over medium heat until sugar dissolves (to make a tea based simple syrup).  Reduce liquid on simmer until the syrup thickens a little and coats the back of a spoon.  Remember that the syrup will thicken further as it cools.

Cover and refrigerate.
