Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add Tea Bags

    Once the water is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and add the 4 black tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Remove Tea Bags

    After steeping, carefully remove the tea bags from the saucepan, making sure to squeeze them to release any remaining tea.

  4. 4

    Add Sugar

    While the tea is still warm, stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar until completely dissolved.

  5. 5

    Cool the Tea

    Pour the sweetened tea into a pitcher and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Serve

    To serve, fill a glass with ice, pour the chilled sweet tea over the ice, and garnish with a lemon wedge, if desired.
