Tupperware used to make a great little tea bag squeezer. I think I got it as a party favor one time, and I absolutely have used it weekly at least, for the past 25 years. I don't know if they still make them, but it's worth checking out.
By the way, Margie, I put the 3 family size bags in a small pyrex pot of water and bring it to a rolling boil and immediately turn it off and let it steep in the pot. Meanwhile, I heat 2 cups of water in a glass measuring cup in the microwave for 3 minutes. I pour that over 1 & 1/2 cups of sugar in a gallon pitcher and stir it up real well before I ever add the tea to it. The sugar is really easy to dissolve that way. After a few minutes I squeeze the tea bags and pour the concentrated tea mixture into the sugar water. Stir and then add ice and water to fill up the pitcher. Voila!
Oh, and I only use Lipton or Luzanne (sp.). I won't use store brands or Nestea. I HATE NESTEA!!!
