"At one time, I intended to teach law, so I went to
Boston to get a Master's of Law degree; while there I
lived with the Swindells family. Mrs. Swindells made a
superb iced tea with a pronounced citrusy flavor. She
insisted on using bottle spring water for a clear
tasting iced tea, the sweetest and most flavored
oranges and English Breakfast Tea."

In saucepan, combine sugar and spring water and bring
to a boil; continue to boil until liquid is clear,
about 5 minutes. Chill thoroughly. Place tea bags in
heat-resistant pitcher, add boiling water and let
steep for about 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea
bags. Let cool and refrigerate until chilled. Add
orange juice, lemon juice and pineapple juice and
chilled sugar syrup. Refrigerate for a few hours,
preferably overnight. Serve over ice in tall glasses.
