I just don't know what to say, other than bless your heart. I taste a
big difference.

LOL. And if there's one thing that I hate more than unsweetened tea, it's fruit-flavored teas. Blech. Oh, and bottled teas and instant teas. (OK, I guess that's 3 things.)
In my family, we use the 2-2-5-5 recipe. Two cups of sugar boiled in two cups of water (a simple syrup), then five tea bags steeped in the syrup for five minutes. Then add water to dilute to a gallon (or to taste). It's perfect.
