Simple Math??

[JCsMomma]

Hello my fellow granola-ites!
Since I am a newbie in this area, I just wanted to run something by you and see if I did the math right. (I have to tell you Samantha, after reading your recipe on HB, I thought about you all through this!!! ;D )
Ok.. my boys LOVE sweet iced tea. They do not like it with plain sucanat or honey. In the breadbeckers recipe book (or as Tina calls it.. my little red cook book!) she talks about sucanat w/honey being able to fool the most southern of southerners!! SO we have switched to that and the boys LOVE it.. I make a simple syrup with half a saucepan of water and 2 cups of sucanat w/honey per 4 quarts.
Here is where I need your help. I have made the switch to Adagio loose teas and I adore them. I want to use the rooibos to make a gallon of tea. So, if one teaspoon is enough for a cup.. how many teaspoons do you ladies think I will need to seep to make 4 qts/1 gallon?
This is what I figured:
a cup = 8 oz = 1 tsp
quart = 32 oz = 4 tsp
4 quarts = 128 oz = 16 tsp
Can that be right?
Help please.. or have I just gone beyond nuts?

no, that's not right. I use two teaspoons to make a pot of tea in my special pot that you saw. So , I would think that 3-4 teaspoons should do it for a pot of tea. How are you making it?

[Mom2boys]

I know you were hoping I would miss that , but TWO cups of sucanat with honey to FOUR quarts!

Come here young lady!

Yes mom... you read it right... but it is not the white death as you call it... doesn't that count for something..
how long must I stand in the corner?

[Mom2boys]

What I really want to know is if you actually gave them any of it......and if you did , how long they bounced off the walls..........

DON"T make me come over there. ;D and no......you many not leave the corner yet.

Where is that finger waving icon when you need it? ;D

[JCsMomma]

ok... (Is there a groveling and pleading icon?) I did not give them much.. just half a glass and filled the rest with water.... I won't make tea that way anymore... I won't make tea that way anymore... I won't make tea that way anymore...

[Mom2boys]

okay......... You can come out now.
