Ingredients for Sweet Tea

Method

Directions for Sweet Tea

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

  2. 2

    Steep Tea

    Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add the black tea bags. Let them steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you prefer your tea.

  3. 3

    Remove the tea bags and stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Cool Down

    Allow the tea to cool to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing it in the refrigerator.

  5. 5

    Serve

    In a glass, add ice and pour the cooled sweet tea over it. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves as desired.
