Ultimate Homemade Chick Fil A Sweet Tea Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 family-sized tea bags Chick-fil-A uses a blend similar to Lipton or Luzianne
- 1 cup of granulated sugar adjust according to taste
- 4 cups of boiling water
- 8 cups of cold water
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.
