Drinking water can help you lose weight, whether you're restricting your calories or not. Consuming 2 cups of water before a meal helped a group of obese adults lose 2 pounds over a 12-week period without making any other changes to their usual intake, according to a 2015 clinical study published in Obesity.
How many tea bags should you use to make a half gallon of iced tea? One gallon is about 128 ounces, so if one tea bag is good for 10 oz  of water, then about 10 teabags is good for a gallon. Start with 10  and adjust accordingly with water.
Pour very hotwater over the tea bag. Dunk it up and down 2-3 times. Cover the tea container. Depending on how strong you want the tea depends on how long you keep the tea bag in the cup that is covered aout 5-7 minutes or steeped. Remove the tea bag and add lemon,or sugar, or cream.
