First, you must choose your weapon. You have two options: the Family Size bag, a massive tea-stuffed pillow the size of a mouse pad, or the Regular bag, a polite little envelope. The Family Size bag is for people who believe in efficiency, or who have a very large punching bag.
Here’s a surprising fact: the Family Size bag is designed to brew two quarts of water. Using a regular bag for a whole pitcher is like using a squirt gun to fight a wildfire. You’ll just get lukewarm, disappointed water.
So, for the love of all that is iced, use one Family Size bag per two quarts of water. If you only have regular bags, use four of them. Don’t be a hero. Be a precise tea mathematician.
