Instructions
Brew The Tea:
Begin by boiling 4 cups of water in your kettle or pot.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, pour it over the two family-sized tea bags in the large pitcher. Allow the tea to steep for about 15 minutes to extract the full flavor.
Dissolve The Sugar:
While the tea is still warm, remove the tea bags and add 1 cup of granulated sugar.
Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved. This process ensures that your tea is sweetened evenly.
Dilute And Chill:
After the sugar has dissolved, add 8 cups of cold water to the pitcher. This dilutes the tea and helps bring it to the perfect drinking strength.
Place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill. Allow the tea to cool for at least 1-2 hours for best results.
Serving:
Serve the chilled sweet tea over ice. For an additional burst of freshness, garnish with a wedge of lemon or a sprig of mint.
